The VIP at Philadelphia International Airport has been launched as a pilot program. It is extremely important that the Airport make a good first impression on travelers. This is a great opportunity for the volunteers to become part of the exciting world of aviation, stated Charles J. Isdell, Jr., the City s Director of Aviation. The volunteers meet and greet travelers and help them with directions, information and general inquiries. They also conduct Airport tours and assist with Airport special events, airline ceremonies, special projects and other activities.
All volunteers receive training and a uniform.
Philadelphia International Airport joins the family of airports from around the world that have successful volunteer programs. Similar programs currently operate in Denver, San Diego, Kansas City, Atlanta, Auckland, New Zealand, Sydney, Australia and many other cities.
