Guide dogs in training Chilli and Darcy jumped on board one of our buses to hone their paw-some skills.
These hard-working hounds might look cute, but they have a serious job helping people who are living with low vision, blindness and other specialised needs. 🦮

We are thrilled to be partnering with @GuideDogsAUS an organisation that helps make independent living and travel a reality for so many people.
Meet Ingrid Barnes and her Guide Dog, Banner who are regulars at #SydneyAirport, having taken 29 flights together since they were matched in 2019.
#GuideDogs play a crucial role in providing independence and assistance to people with low vision or blindness, especially when they travel. This Christmas, we hope to raise enough funds to raise and train 5 guide dogs puppies. You can help by donating here: bit.ly/41fvLt9

She navigates around the airport with Banner and a Sydney Airport staff member before boarding a plane, where she sits in a row of seats next to a journalist, and her Guide Dog Banner sits beside her.
