Flying to the Aerozone
Posted 24th June 2026
On Wednesday, 24 of our students had the exciting opportunity to visit the airport and take part in a range of engaging, hands-on activities. The trip was a fantastic success, with students fully immersing themselves in the experience and demonstrating curiosity and enthusiasm throughout. During the visit, students explored a variety of interactive stations, including a flight simulator, airport security checks, air traffic control, a duty-free store, passport control, and even a firefighter gear-up activity. These experiences gave them a real insight into the wide range of roles involved in running an airport.
A particular highlight was meeting two guest speakers - a security manager and a permit officer - who shared valuable insights about their careers. Our students asked thoughtful and perceptive questions, showcasing excellent engagement and interest.
Students also enjoyed a fascinating tour of Terminal 2, where they had the chance to see some historic aviation items, including old radios, medals, and photographs. This provided a unique glimpse into the rich history of air travel. Overall, the visit was an inspiring and memorable experience for all involved, giving students a deeper understanding of airport operations and potential future career pathways.
