Aviation Day
Aviation Day is a free event for youth ages 11 to 18. It’s designed to give flight to young minds interested in careers within the air travel industry.
Each year, attendees participate in fun, informative activities and interact with aviation workers, devices, and machinery essential to the industry, learning about a wide range of topics related to aviation.
Our 2025 events have concluded, but we’re already beginning work for next year. Check back in January 2026 for details on next year’s events.
