A TSA officer noticed an airport colleague who fell ill and she immediately got emergency medical services to the scene.
Carolyn L., a transportation security officer for the TSA, was walking to her work location when she noticed an airport employee in front of a TSA Security Checkpoint who was in extreme pain and distress. Carolyn immediately took action and called for medical assistance, staying with the employee until the EMTs arrived.
She provided continuous, compassionate support, maintaining a calm, reassuring presence and with the ill employee’s consent, she promptly notified their family member and provided updates until the EMS team arrived.
Carolyn’s actions exceeded expectations by combining decisive incident recognition, effective coordination, and exemplary care under pressure, and she has been given the Phoenix Sky Harbor On the FLY (F = Friendly. L = Let me help. Y = You.) award.

An airport concessions worker left a lasting impression on a first-time visitor to Arizona, and she had to write us and let us know.
Saul R., a store associate with airport vendor CASA Unlimited Enterprises, “was so helpful, very kind and informative. He had a bright smile and explained the Arizona culture to an inquisitive audience,” said the guest.
“I have fallen in love with Arizona — it’s been a great first experience!”
Saul’s excellent customer service is not only a boon for our guests but it represents Arizona with pride, and for that he has been recognized by our Phoenix Sky Harbor On the FLY team (F = Friendly. L = Let me help. Y = You.)
