A whole new way to reach someone at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport will be introduced this week.
Passengers traveling through Sky Harbor will be the first in the world to use a new paging system, which does away with the traditional "white paging phones."
Sky Harbor visitors will send and receive messages at Paging Assistance Locations (PALs). The names of those being paged will be announced through speakers inside the terminal and displayed on monitors throughout the airport, helping both visually and hearing impaired passengers to receive pages.
Messages will be sent in a variety of ways, including a touch screen, Braille enhanced keyboard, a telephone handset or headset, or an EZ access device for those with limited hand mobility.
Instructions will be available in English, Spanish or German.
Thirty PALs are being placed throughout Sky Harbor.
As part of this project, Sky Harbor also is improving flight and baggage displays, placing them in better locations and making the fonts larger and easier to read.
The first-of-its-kind paging system will be unveiled Wednesday, March 30.
