England Airpark/Alexandria International Airport

06/10/2026

England Airpark and AEX representatives on Tuesday had the opportunity to share industry trends and workforce needs with a select group of high school and middle school educators from nine Central Louisiana parishes. The airport and England Airpark Fire Department were two stops in the weeklong Workplace Experience Exchange (WEE) Camps, administered by The Orchard Foundation as part of The Rapides Foundation's Education Initiative.

“The goal of WEE Camp is to help educators develop a broader, real-world perspective they can pass on to their students,” explained Dr. Marjorie Taylor, Executive Director of The Orchard Foundation. “Teachers call WEE Camp an ‘eye-opening experience’ that informs them about the skills their students will need to work in various area businesses. We appreciate local partners like the England Economic and Industrial Development District who, through WEE Camp and other activities, are helping students succeed beyond high school.”

Start your trip the right way – with an acceptable ID! The REAL ID is the most commonly used form of identification at U.S. airports. Learn more about the REAL ID and whether you have the right ID to travel at https://www.tsa.gov/realid. ✈

If your summer travel plans include booking that dream trip, making family memories, or just escaping your job for a couple of days, we want to make sure your vacation comes with as little worry as possible.

What’s the first thing you can do on your way to relaxation? Make sure you’ve got an acceptable form of ID with you (like a REAL ID, military ID, or a passport).

Don’t have your REAL ID yet? We know, going to the DMV might not be the definition of low stress, but think of the peace you’ll have when you’re able to fly without any hassles afterwards!

Take five minutes now and avoid stressing over whether or not you have the right ID to travel later.

Watching the skies this past Memorial Day, one could see a striking double rainbow arching over the fighter jets of Heritage Park. The significance of their timing encouraged a moment of quiet reflection, as a sign of promise stretched above the monuments to military service.
