EKU Department of Aviation Partnership For many years, the airport has collaborated with Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) to provide valuable learning experiences for aviation students by offering internship opportunities, airport tours, hands-on experience, interaction with the airport leadership team and representation in the student aviation chapter. With the new WestLEX facility, EKU students can work part-time to learn more about general aviation and better understand airport operations and customer service.
