Aerospace powerhouse Boeing announced the continuation of its platinum level sponsorship of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual AirVenture convention in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
The sponsorship makes possible free youth admissions (ages 18 and under).
“Boeing became the named sponsor for Boeing Plaza in 2014 and has been the free youth admission sponsor since that program began in 2021,” EAA spokesperson Dick Knapinski said.
According to a media release from Boeing, the company will also be the presenting sponsor of WomenVenture support for the Airline Crew Check-In and continued backing of multiple KidVenture activities.
“EAA has an impressive global reach with an immense community and helps inspire the next generation of aviation professionals,” said Chris Raymond, president and CEO of Boeing Global Services, in a news release. “The participation in AirVenture continues to grow not only within general aviation but also in the commercial, business, and military sectors. It’s an ideal stage to showcase Boeing’s diverse products and services.”
Added Jack Pelton, EAA CEO and chairman, in a statement: “Boeing has been a valued partner to EAA over the years. Boeing Plaza has become the heartbeat of AirVenture, and their support of the youth admission has given nearly 500,000 kids the opportunity to explore the incredible world of aviation over the past three years. We are so grateful to see this partnership continue.”
