Navigating the Denver International Airport (DIA)
An IRC staff member will meet you at the gate when you get off the plane. They will guide you through the airport to collect your bags. IRC staff members will be wearing IRC apparel and/or their work badges with the IRC logo on it.
What to do if you get lost or cannot find an IRC staff member at the gate:
Staff members at the airport will be able to help you if you get lost. It will be important to show them your IOM tag and travel information. They can use this to contact IRC Denver staff.
If you have identified a relative or friend as a US tie who will be housing you temporarily in the Denver area, they often will meet you at the airport as well.
These services are primarily provided to clients who traveled to the U.S. under the U.S. State Department's Reception and Placement program on flights organized by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and who were assigned to the IRC as their resettlement agency. Some clients who arrived in the U.S. by other means may also be eligible.
