Airport Academy

Hollywood Burbank Airport’s “Airport Academy” is a career exploration and educational experience for Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena high school students. The program introduces students to careers in airport operations, aviation, and aerospace in a casual learning environment that is interactive and informative. 

Students meet aviation personnel, as well as tour Hollywood Burbank Airport behind the scenes and on the airfield. Participants also meet representatives from the airlines, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), FedEx, Airport Fire and Police, local colleges with aviation programs, and more.

Students meet at the airport for a total of five sessions: three hours a day, one day a month from January – May. 

Outreach to each school district goes out at the beginning of the school year. Interested students should reach out to the college & career specialist in their district.
