Sebring Airport Authority Mentors Aviation Programs in Trinidad

The Sebring Airport Authority, in a collaboration exercise, is actively mentoring Trevor Benjamin, a Senior Aviation Instructor at the University of Trinidad and Tobago. Trevor, a former Chairman of the Airports Authority of Trinidad and Tobago and Deputy Chairman of the Trinidad & Tobago Civil Aviation Authority, is committed to advancing aviation education in the region. He teaches courses in Airport and Airline Operations, Airside Safety, Air Regulations, and the History of Aviation, providing his students with some of the essential skills needed for a career in aviation.

As part of this mentorship, Sebring Airport Authority will be conducting a Zoom presentation for Trevor’s Airport Management class on its Airport Operations and Advanced Air Mobility. The presentation, titled “University of Trinidad and Tobago Presentation on Advanced Air Mobility,” will offer insights into cutting-edge aviation technologies and operations, preparing students for the evolving landscape of the industry.

Trevor Benjamin’s efforts to promote aviation education extend beyond the classroom. He has initiated programs that engage young people through STEM, organizing events for grade school children, aviation entrepreneurs, and marginalized groups such as orphaned and disabled children. His goal is to inspire the next generation of aviators and industry leaders in Trinidad and Tobago.

With his extensive background, including roles as Airport Manager at both Piarco International Airport in Trinidad and Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport in St. Kitts and Nevis, Trevor brings a wealth of experience to his current position. Trevor holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Manitoba and a Master’s degree in Aviation Management from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and is a trained commercial pilot.

The partnership between Sebring Airport Authority and Trevor Benjamin highlights a shared commitment to fostering the development of aviation education and career opportunities in Trinidad and Tobago, ensuring that the region is well-positioned to contribute to and benefit from the future of global aviation.
