Travel News Asia Latest Travel News Podcasts Videos Monday, 1 March 2010

Cathay Pacific has launched the latest “I Can Fly” programme, with 100 Hong Kong students embarking on a journey that will see them learn all about the world of aviation and at the same time gain valuable community service experience.

First launched in 2003, the programme has been revamped this year to include more in-depth and comprehensive out-of-classroom learning opportunities, a wider variety of activities, and overseas learning experiences. Major activities for the 2010 “I Can Fly” include a three-day training camp, enhanced ground-school training that will cover both flight operations and inflight services, visits to key aviation facilities at Hong Kong International Airport, a photography workshop that encourages Healthy Lifestyle, and a self-designed social service programme.

All members will also have the opportunity to enjoy an educational experience overseas, such as a flying course in Adelaide, a trip to aviation facilities at the Boeing factory in Seattle, or a visit to the Airbus plant and the Civil Aviation University of China in Tianjin.

Sheron Liu, a member of the 2003-2004 “I Can Fly”, and now a Cathay Pacific Customer Sales Officer as well as a staff leader for this year’s programme, said, “‘I Can Fly’ offered me a great opportunity to gain a tremendous amount of aviation knowledge and broaden my horizons. The passion shown by my staff leaders motivated me to find a job with Cathay Pacific, and I’m pleased now to share my experience with the new members.”
