Los Angeles World Airports recently hosted Aviation Career Days at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Van Nuys Airport (VNY), attracting over 2,000 students from the Los Angeles Unified School District and local schools. The events aimed to introduce students to career opportunities in aviation through interactive activities and direct engagement with industry professionals.

Rob Lowe, Chief People and Culture Officer at Los Angeles World Airports, emphasized the importance of these initiatives: “At Los Angeles World Airports, we believe that engaging with our communities, especially our youth, is vital for the future of the aviation industry.” He added that these events empower students to see themselves as future leaders in aviation.

The LAX event took place on October 16 at the Flight Path Museum's airfield ramp. It featured commercial aircraft displays, equipment demonstrations, and representatives from over 40 agencies including airlines and law enforcement. Students also toured the airfield for a closer look at airport operations.
