~ Arizona Airport Passport Program ~
AZAPP
By Trent Heidtke
Welcome to the November edition of AZAPP Corner where we update you on the latest and greatest happenings regarding the Arizona Passport Program.
The month of October has seen an uptick in the number of people beginning the program. Now that we have 50 signs up at airports throughout Arizona, we have officially launched Phase 1 of the program. While there are just a few airports that have not yet signed up for the program, we do have a critical mass and are encouraged by the support so far from both participants as well as airport managers who have been kind enough to support the program by putting our placards up.
Watch for press releases/articles from aviation organizations within the next few weeks as we have started an advertising campaign in earnest for the program. Organizations like AOPA and EAA as well as Social Flight and many others are receiving information about the program and passing it along to their readers, a big step for the program to be sure.
Our APA website has been enhanced to now include information about participating airports and as we enter Phase 2, museums, and restaurants. The site will be updated as we get new information from all participating airports and businesses. For now, just be aware that we are still working to get specific definition on placard placement, as not everyone participating has sent us those details yet. Your patience while we work through the information gaps is appreciated.
