Northwest Arkansas National Airport Tour Information
Interested in airport operations and aviation? XNA offers a fun and interactive introduction to the field of aviation through free tours guided by some of our airport experts. XNA tours begin on the airfield while a specialized guide explains different runway markings, communication tactics, and airport function. After watching an aircraft land yards away, the XNA Fire Chief will walk your group through the fire station and the different certifications and responsibilities of an Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighter (ARFF). The XNA tour includes viewing different private jets from the Regional Jet Center and an inside look into the massive commercial aircraft hangars. The tour concludes at the XNA Maintenance and Operations building. Tours will last 2-2.5 hours and can be organized to fit the specific needs of the group.
