To address the theme of air, the children, aged 6 to 12 and divided into groups, had the chance to discover the airport thanks to an interesting program. Welcomed around 9 a.m. last Thursday in front of the terminal, the 36 students and their companions first visited the departures area where the check-in counters for the different companies are located. After experiencing passing through passenger control like real little travelers, the children accessed the boarding lounge without forgetting the obligatory passage through the souvenir shop before heading onto the runway and the aircraft parking lot.

A demonstration by the airport firefighters was also planned to educate children about emergency response.

The children went to the baggage claim room to complete the journey, while keeping their feet on the ground.
