Language Tools to Assist Our Customers
Did you know resources are available for foreign language translation? This is particularly helpful if you encounter customers in the terminals who need assistance, and you do not speak their language. Here are some options:
- Use Google Translate. Google Translate is a multilingual translation tool that helps employees and guests at PHX quickly interpret written or spoken language, making communication smoother and more inclusive across language barriers.
- Take the customer to an Information Counter. There, they can access GLOBO, a translating service. GLOBO provides translation for nearly all languages worldwide. GLOBO is also available by contacting the Command Center.
- Ask a Navigator for assistance. All Navigators have Google Translate on their issued cell phones as well as the contact information for GLOBO. Some Navigators also speak multiple languages.
If you’re assisting a traveler and need support, help is just a call or tap away with these resources.

Keep Your Eyes Out for Compassion Cacti™ Lanyards
America’s Friendliest Airport® offers the Compassion Cacti™ Lanyard Program, which is aimed at providing an extra-friendly hand to customers who need more time or additional assistance when traveling through the airport.
Customers, their parents, caregivers or guardians can request a Compassion Cacti™ lanyard prior to their next visit to the airport by completing a request form at skyharbor.com.
- Requests will be reviewed by customer service staff within 5-7 business days.
- Once processed, customers can pick up their lanyard at the Compassion Corner Office by showing a photo ID prior to or on the day of travel.
- When a customer wears the lanyard, PHX Airport employees will know that the passenger may need extra assistance, or a little more time at the check-in counter, security checkpoint and other areas.
- The Compassion Cacti lanyards can be kept and used each time the passenger travels through PHX, but the lanyard will only be recognized at PHX.
The Compassion Corner is located in Terminal 4 on level 3 behind elevator B in the Chapel at PHX. For additional information and assistance, please email skyharbor@phoenix.gov or call 602-534-0293.

Do you know about our Childcare Scholarship Program? This is an added benefit to help those airport workers find safe, quality, and affordable childcare. For more information about the program's specific requirements or to apply, visit vsuw.org/PHXSkyHarbor.
