Did you know 70 aviation industry organizations have partnered with the Blue Lightning Initiative (BLI) to combat human trafficking, including a University? In recognition of National Aviation Day on August 19, BLI will be hosting two informational webinars for aviation organizations interested in learning more about the program.

During the webinars, attendees will hear from representatives at the U.S. Departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) about the benefits of partnering with BLI and learn more about human trafficking recognition and response.

BLI is an element of the DHS Blue Campaign, led by DOT and DHS Component Agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection. BLI trains aviation personnel to identify potential traffickers and human trafficking victims, and to report their suspicions to federal law enforcement. To date, more than 100,000 personnel in the aviation industry have been trained through BLI, and actionable tips continue to be reported to law enforcement.
