Something Special is Coming to America’s Friendliest Airport®

The 12 Days of Gratitude Arrives December 4

Throughout America’s Friendliest Airport,® the signs of the holiday season are emerging as the festive decorations adorn the terminals. The spirit of the season is also in full swing as Airport staff is hard at work getting the airport ready for the second annual 12 Days of Gratitude customer appreciation event.

12 Days of Gratitude will commence Dec. 4 and run through Dec. 15. During this time, a variety of activities will take place that will provide Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport with the opportunity to show gratitude to customers while also giving travelers the opportunity to show their appreciation.

Over the course of the 12 days, customers will find activities taking place both pre-and post-security in both terminals. Passengers will have the opportunity to win prizes, take their photos with the Airport’s mascot Amelia the Airplane and Navigator Buddies, participate in art activities, write notes of gratitude, and even show off their airport trivia knowledge for prizes.

Passengers should also keep an eye out for the PHX team handing out PHX travel items and goodies to lucky passengers. Additionally, throughout the 12 days, airport staff and the PHX Navigators will be handing out chocolate coins and thank you cards to passengers.
