The YWLA Transportation You Club received an exclusive behind the scenes tour at the San Antonio International Airport today. Our Cardinals attended an all-star Women in Aviation Panel discussion, viewed airport and flight operations first-hand, visited the runway and taxi ramps, and as a special treat, got up close and personal with a United Arlines Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Students viewed the new Terminal 3 construction project underway on site, and met with the women engineers and project managers leading the development of the project set to open to the public in 2028. Thank you SA INTL Airport!🙌🏼🥳🤗
