Behind the scenes at Armidale Regional Airport

13th Aug 2024

Black Mountain Public School students got a ‘behind the scenes’ look at Armidale Regional Airport recently.
Airport Manager Angela Garvey gave the excited group of K-2 students a guided tour which included opportunities to ask questions of the airport team at work, and even a chance to ‘test’ the scales at baggage check-in!
The children were encouraged by teacher Simone Lord to estimate their own
weight before being weighed, and then each received a souvenir ‘bag tag’.
After meeting staff and learning more about how the airport operates, students watched the Sydney to Armidale flight land and welcomed arrivals
with smiles and waves – a well-received surprise for visitors to our region!
