Compromise!
Continue working at the airport whilst covering the course part-time/ distance learning. Try and get into a different area such as ops or planning. Companies don't often take on people without hands-on experience so get some experience whilst studying for your qualification. Then you'll look twice as attractive at the end.
Tell any perspective new employer that you are studying to further your career, and they may be willing to help you into duties or responsibilities which are relevant to the qualification you are studying. They may even offer you a career path once they know you're serious.
These companies are rare but they do exist.
Either way, stay focussed on what you want & good luck!
