Human Trafficking Awareness

Human Trafficking Awareness

According to the International Labor Organization, 24.9 million people are victims of modern slavery and human trafficking, and those victims are often transported on aircraft and pass through airports. By creating awareness in the aviation industry, trained personnel can better recognize and understand behaviors consistent with trafficking situations and report their observations.

This module includes information on the collaborative campaigns by the United Nations and their Office on Drugs and Crime, as well as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Blue Lightning Initiative (BLI). We review ICAO Circular 352 Guidelines for Training Cabin Crew on Identifying and Responding to Trafficking in Persons, which creates guidance on recognition, and ICAO Circular 357 Guidelines for Reporting Trafficking in Persons by Flight and Cabin Crew that contains a flow chart of possible actions.

InFO 19002 is referenced, which informs Title 14 CFR Part 135 operators of the statutory requirements in sections 44734 and 44738.

 

The FAA Extension, Safety and Security Act requires air carriers to train flight attendants to recognize and report suspected human trafficking. The FAA Reauthorization Act expanded the training requirement to other air carrier workers whose jobs require regular interaction with passengers. Operators, especially those operating international, can use this eLearning module to raise awareness of Human Trafficking and provide a process for reporting.

This module is not required by International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) or Business Aviation Safety Consortium (BASC). Operators, especially international, can use this eLearning module to raise awareness of Human Trafficking and provide a process for reporting.
