Kissimmee Gateway Airport Hosts

Embry-Riddle Job Shadow Day

March 10th was an incredible day for our airport! We were proud to host the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) Job Shadow Day and introduce students enrolled in the aviation master’s program to the inner workings of an airport. They got to explore the airfield, visit Cirrus Aircraft and learn about their services. At AeroStar Training Services, students saw the cockpit of a B-737 full-motion flight simulator up close and learned more about what it takes to become a pilot. We are so thankful to Embry-Riddle for allowing us to host these amazing students and providing insight into what we do at Kissimmee Gateway Airport. If you are interested in hosting a job shadow day at Kissimmee Gateway Airport, please send a request by e-mailing [email protected].

The ISM campaign was designed to promote the airport and the City of Kissimmee as a top year-round travel and tourism destination and a great place to locate a business in Florida.
