I'm actually participating in my company's job shadow tomorrow, and though I don't work in the airline industry, I don't think this would be a sensible practice. How much responsibility could a high school/jr. high student have at the airport? We usually have the students observe, take notes, but not really participate. It would be disruptive to the workflow process. I guess if they were to do non-intrusive tasks, like move things around or simple manual labor tasks, it might be feasible... just so they aren't bored.
