The Norfolk Airport Authority offers educational tours to area schools from September through June. A maximum of 30 students are allowed per tour group. An average of 200 tours are conducted yearly and with all of the construction taking place at Norfolk International, the students are provided an outstanding opportunity to see major changes in the making.
Teachers call the airport to schedule tours in advance.
If a pilot is onboard, the children are often invited into the cockpit for a quick view of the various instruments and then it is on to the baggage claim area. An airport coloring book and crayons for each child are presented to the teacher as they exit the airport to return to school.
