The Aviation Day program is specifically designed to engage youth through exposure to the variety of careers available in the aviation industry. Our presentations and activities are designed to spark interest in students at a young age. From experience, we have determined participants must be aged 13-18.

Employees are encouraged to sign up to volunteer via Team Kōkua at the event, in which volunteers will be given breaks to also experience the Aviation Day activities for themselves.
