TRAVELERS AID INTERNATIONAL

Travelers Aid International serves as the association for Travelers Aid agencies and programs throughout Canada, the United States (including Puerto Rico) and Australia. It has become known as the

 'Number One Name in Airport Customer Assistance.'

Travelers Aid International served more than 6.5 million people last year in fourty-eight communities, and at thirty-six major transportation centers (airports, bus and train stations).

While every member of the network shares the core mission of helping stranded travelers, all of its fifty-one agencies are independently managed and often provide for a myriad of other social welfare services that meet the unique needs of each locale.

Around the airport or around the world, you can be sure Travelers Aid is there to help.
