Sebring Airport Attends Florida Aviation Professionals Academy Spring Session

FAPA training event

Sebring Airport Executive Assistant Jami Olive attended the Florida Aviation Professionals Academy (FAPA) Spring 2025 training, held April 16–17 at the FDOT District 1 Southwest Area Office in Fort Myers, Florida.

FAPA is a specialized training program developed to provide academic and technical knowledge for airport personnel, FDOT staff, and other aviation professionals. The program focuses on FDOT Aviation Office (AO) processes, policies, and operations—helping to enhance job performance, support new roles, and build vital skills in airport management and operations.

Florida’s aviation training initiatives are among the most robust in the nation, offering paths into careers ranging from airfield operations and air traffic control to airline, air cargo, and flight dispatching services. While most airport operations training occurs on the job, FAPA complements that experience with industry-specific knowledge and best practices.

Reflecting on her experience, Jami Olive shared:
“It was a wonderful training packed full of great knowledge that will be useful in the day-to-day operations at the airport—especially for my position.”

Sebring Airport remains committed to ongoing education and professional development to better serve the aviation community and ensure safe, efficient airport operations.
