Airline Ambassadors International
Non-profit organization based in Arlington, Virginia
Airline Ambassadors International (AAI) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Arlington, Virginia and founded by American Airlines flight attendant Nancy Rivard in 1996 [1]as a form of volunteer tourism. Its initial focus was humanitarian aid in Central America due to American Airlines' presence there,[2] but has expanded to 52 countries.[citation needed]
Its focus further expanded in 2009[3] to partner with other airports to help prevent human trafficking, although their claims about the scale of the issue are under question.[1][4][5]
