  • Interfaith Chapel / Religious Options
    Interfaith Chaplaincy at San Jose International Airport
    Travelers now have the option to seek this type of support at San Jose International Airport (SJC) offered through the Interfaith Chaplaincy Program of Interfaith Services, Inc. This program is modeled after the International Association of Civil Aviation Chaplains now operating in 72 airports worldwide. The 12 volunteer chaplains and associates serving SJC have been trained in counseling and support services in the airport context. Each volunteer works three hour shifts and are also on-call. The chaplains are from varied religions and maintain a ""Ministry of Presence"" in both terminals while not promoting any particular religious tradition.

    Six chaplain corps volunteers have received emergency response training through the City of San Jose, Office of Emergency Services. This training includes incident stress debriefing, and cooperation with the standard emergency management system. The program was presented to Airport senior staff by Dr. Dwight L. Kintner, Chair of Interfaith Services, Inc. This program is a special project of Kiwanis International of Santa Clara County, Human and Spiritual Values Committee. ""Airport personnel have been receptive and supportive of the volunteer services provided by the chaplains,"" says Dr. Kintner. He adds, ""We’re here to provide services not only to travelers, but also Airport and airline employees.""

    An average of three to four significant contacts per shift are made by the chaplains. As they stroll through the terminals they have provided assistance to a security staff member who was under stress, a clerk at an auto rental desk with heart problems and a non-English speaking person in need of a wheelchair.""

    Their services are invaluable and San Jose International Airport is proud to have this program available,"" states Ralph Tonseth, director of aviation.

    Chaplain shift times are 9:30 A.M.-12:30 P.M. and 12:30 P.M.-3:30 P.M. for both terminals.

    For further information, please contact Dr. Dwight L. Kintner at (408) 779-4615 or Airport media relations at (408) 277-5366. Also, you can visit the Web site for the International Association of Civil Aviation Chaplains at www.ruralnet.net.au/~holloway

    Taxi service:
    • Drivers from both Yellow Cab (services Terminal A and the International Arrivals Facility) and United Cab (services Terminal C), are trained to provide service to passengers in wheelchairs who are able to physically move themselves from the wheelchair to the cab. Call the cab company in advance to arrange for convenient pick-up curbside.
    • In addition, Yellow Cab has vans in its fleets that are wheelchair accessible. Yellow Cab recommends contacting them 24 hours in advance to arrange for a wheelchair accessible van.

    Wheelchairs or Sky Caps:
    • For wheelchair or porter service, please contact your airline in advance.
    • Sky Caps can provide a wheelchair to assist passengers with disabilities at terminal curbside during vehicle drop off and pick up.
    • Passengers may also request assistance from any available Sky Cap by dialing #55 from an Airport Courtesy Phone located throughout the terminals.

    Parking:
    • Parking for persons with disabilities is located in the Terminal A garage and Terminal C short-term lot. Vehicles displaying disabled placards may park in these areas for the same rate as long-term parking, $15 daily maximum.
    • Free wheelchair-accessible shuttle buses are available every 10 minutes in the long-term parking lot for transportation to and from the terminals.

    Security Checkpoints:
    • Individuals assisting passengers with disabilities are allowed beyond the screener checkpoints. These individuals may be required to present themselves at the airlines’ check-in desk and receive a ""pass"" allowing them to go through the screener checkpoint without a ticket.
    • Passengers with disabilities may receive assistance from airline personnel, who will escort them to the gate. Those needing help should make a request at the airline ticket counter.
    • Ticketed passengers with their own oxygen for use on the ground are allowed beyond the screener checkpoints with their oxygen canisters once the canisters have been thoroughly inspected.
    • All persons allowed beyond the screener checkpoints may be searched. This will usually be done through the use of a hand-held metal detector, whenever possible. Passengers may also be patted down during security screenings, and this is even more likely if the passenger uses a wheelchair and is unable to stand up. Private screenings remain an option for persons in wheelchairs.
