In 2012, less than 1% of Human Trafficking victims were identified.  AAI has assumed a pivotal role since 2010 when members reported suspected trafficking on 4 different commercial flights in just one day.  One of those cases led to the break up of a trafficking ring in Boston, saving 82 children. Since that time we have provided more than 20 awareness training’s as a public service.

What:  Human Trafficking – the buying and selling of women, girls and boys – is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world. It is a form of modern day slavery.  Victims are held against their will and are controlled by others, often times violently.

Why:  U.S. airports are major hubs of entry and exit for perpetrators and their victims. The U.S. Department of State has determined that transportation professionals are among the best-placed to identify trafficking situations.  This training will raise situational awareness by teaching both warning signals and approved methods of how to handle a suspected trafficking situation.

Who:  Airline Ambassadors and Innocents At Risk, two organizations based in Washington DC, have been advocating for awareness in the airline industry. They have presented four times at the US Congress and Airline Ambassadors “Recognize It Report It” training has been provided at 20 airports and other locations so far.  The training is validated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of State, U. S. Department of Transportation, and supported by U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.  Delta Airlines has incorporated the Blue Lightening protocol into the training of flight attendants, American Airlines incorporated the issue of human trafficking in crew manuals since 2010 and other airlines are following suit as well.
