What could a future in aviation look like? ✈️

High school juniors and seniors from across Travis County got a behind-the-scenes look at Southwest Airlines during AUS Discovery Day, exploring the many careers that keep an airline and airport moving.

Students toured a Southwest Boeing 737, stepped inside the cockpit, learned about inflight and ground operations, and connected with Southwest employees about the different paths that led them to aviation. They also heard directly from Southwest pilots about the Destination 225° Pilot Pathways program. 👩‍✈️👨‍✈️

As AUS continues to grow alongside our airline partners, opportunities like Discovery Day give students the chance to explore what’s possible for their futures and see that there’s more than one path to a career in aviation.
