Students got on board a Hong Kong Airlines A330 aircraft and entered the cockpit for the very first time in their lives

The aviation experience tour debuted with a visit to Hong Kong Airlines' catering service centre and check-in counters at the Hong Kong International Airport. Students were brought behind the scenes to learn how meals are prepared and the daily operation of ground services. The students were then taken onboard a Hong Kong Airlines A330 aircraft. Captain and cabin crew of Hong Kong Airlines shared their aviation knowledge and flight experiences with the students, teaching them some fun facts about flying. Students also learned the structure of cockpit and cabin, experienced Business Class facilities and tried on life jackets. Some students even got dressed as captain and had a great time in cockpit with the real pilots. Little flight attendants performed inflight duties like making passenger announcement and distributing inflight meal. They all found the visit very exciting and expressed the wish of becoming part of the industry when they grow up.

Hong Kong Airlines will continue to hold the "Triumph Sky High" Junior Programme in the coming year to offer more students the exposure to the aviation industry.
