Coming Soon: 2025 CLT Aviation Academy 

Each year, the CLT Aviation Academy gives participants a one-of-a-kind opportunity to explore the inner workings of Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). Through a series of weekly interactive sessions, the Academy takes participants on a behind-the-scenes journey of various aspects of CLT’s operations and planning efforts. 

As in previous years, the 2025 class schedule will feature informative presentations from CLT staff, live demonstrations and tours of airport facilities. By the end of the Academy, participants will have gained a greater understanding of CLT’s regional economic impact as a general aviation services provider, major employer and a commercial and logistics hub. 

The CLT Aviation Academy is open to leaders in the public and private sectors, as well as community members from across the Centralina region. The class is limited to 35 participants who will be selected through a competitive application process.
