Lincoln Airport (lincolnairport.com) recognized National Human Trafficking Prevention Day, January 11, as a day dedicated to raising awareness about a critical global issue. The Blue Campaign, led by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), hosts #WearBlueDay, a social media movement encouraging people to wear blue and share photos using the hashtag to spread awareness. Lincoln Airport not only joined in by wearing blue but also lit up its LNK sign in blue to show support.
The Blue Campaign is a national initiative focused on educating the public to recognize and respond to human trafficking. Through partnerships with law enforcement, businesses and community organizations, the campaign works to prevent trafficking and support victims.
As a proud sponsor of the Blue Lighting Initiative (BLI), Lincoln Airport is committed to this cause. The BLI, a vital component of the Blue Campaign, is led by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). It provides specialized training to aviation personnel, teaching them how to identify signs of trafficking and report concerns to federal law enforcement. To date, this initiative has trained over 350,000 aviation professionals, resulting in critical tips and stronger protections for potential victims.
Last summer, LNK held its first-ever Human Trafficking Awareness event on July 30 and looks forward to continuing this effort in 2025. Informational flyers and cards from the Blue Campaign are available throughout the terminal, providing travelers with valuable resources. With well-trained staff and a dedication to making a difference, Lincoln Airport stands united in the fight against human trafficking. Together, we can raise awareness, foster change and build a safer tomorrow.
The Lincoln Airport, owned and operated by the Lincoln Airport Authority, is a calm, hassle-free travel spot for the people of Nebraska. For more information about flights and services, visit lincolnairport.com or call (402) 458-2480.
