Airfield Tours
The Airfield Tour Program is an opportunity to see Tampa International Airport like you’ve never seen it before.
From our mini-bus, watch for arriving and departing aircraft as we drive along the airport service roads where you’ll learn about:
- Airfield Maintenance
- Air Cargo
- Firefighter Training
- Fuel Farm
- Aircraft Maintenance Hangars

- General Aviation Facilities
Your experienced guide will talk about the instrument landing system, runways, and taxiways while you watch planes land and take off. The tour includes a visit to the airport fire station to learn firsthand from the crew what it takes to be an airport firefighter while taking an up-close look at the special Aircraft Rescue and firefighting vehicles.
