Educational

 

Visits to Dragonair's headquarters at Chek Lap Kok by schools and other interested parties form one of the cornerstones of our education programme. Believing exposure to a different culture can be a positive experience for young people, Dragonair sponsors study tours to a number of destinations within its network.

We also work with the Hong Kong Air Cadet Corps on developing an education scheme, the Dragonair Aviation Certificate Programme. The objective of the programme is to build on the enthusiasm selected Hong Kong Air Cadet Corps cadets have for flying, and expose them to the experience and knowledge of an operating commercial airline. Our hope is that they will become Hong Kong's next generation of aviators as a result of the unique insights they gain from the programme. Participating cadets underwent an intensive training session and then were accepted into a six-month mentorship scheme in which each cadet teams up with a Dragonair pilot, who acts as their personal mentor. In addition, specialised work experience covering areas such as aircraft ground-handling and engineering are also arranged.
