Aruba Airport Authority Celebrates Pride Month , Actively Fostering a Culture of Diversity and Inclusion
In celebration of Pride Month, Aruba Airport Authority (AAA) proudly hosted a series of activations throughout the month of June to honor and support the LGBTQI+ community. These activities reflect AAA’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and the celebration of all individuals, regardless of their identity.
Throughout June, AAA updated all social media platform profile pictures with the rainbow colors and made dedicated posts to raise awareness and show support for Pride Month. Additionally, for the first time ever, Aruba Airport raised the Pride flag, celebrating love, diversity, and inclusion.
In a colorful display of commitment, the lights inside the arrival hall were changed to rainbow colors, and the tower lights also reflected the rainbow colors, creating a welcoming and supportive environment for all travelers and staff.
As the culmination of the month-long celebrations, AAA hosted a special event where AAA staff and community members were invited to show their support, snap pictures, relax to the beats of a DJ, and enjoy sweet treats. This event was a testament to AAA’s ongoing support for the LGBTQI+ community and its dedication to fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion.
“These activations symbolize Aruba Airport Authority’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and support for the LGBTQI+ community during Pride Month,” said Barbara Brown, Chief Revenue Development & Communications of AAA. “We are proud to celebrate Pride Month and demonstrate our dedication to creating an inclusive environment for all. These efforts are also in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG Goal 5: Gender Equality and SDG Goal 10: Reduced Inequality.”
