Each year, YVR welcomes university students from coast to coast to the airport's summer student program. Dressed in red vests, white golf shirts and black pants, summer students help passengers with everything from directions to lost luggage, and organize crowds for faster passenger processing. With thousands of cruise ship passengers visiting Vancouver each summer, the students are an integral component of YVR's customer service team. Coinciding with YVR's peak travel periods, students work throughout the terminals from May to September, seven days a week, and again during the Christmas season.
