Education (Youth)
We have partnered with the Hong Kong Air Cadet Corps on an annual education scheme, the Dragonair Aviation Certificate Programme, since 2005. The programme objective 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 undergo an 8-month intensive training session and touch on different aspects of airline operation, such as aircraft ground-handling and engineering. The programme also offers a mentorship scheme, in which each cadet teams up with a Dragonair pilot who acts as their personal mentor, to facilitate the learning process.
Believing exposure to a different culture can be a positive experience for young people, Dragonair also sponsors study tours to a number of destinations within its network.
