Co-organised by the Civil Aviation University of China, the Hong Kong International Aviation Academy and The Hong Kong Award for Young People, and sponsored by Grace Yu Ho Wun Youth Development Fund, the “Fly My Way Exchange Programme 2023” was successfully held. 25 Participants from Hong Kong and China visited aviation facilities in Tianjin and Hong Kong, and participated in aviation-related courses and exchange activities to learn about the operations and challenges of the aviation industry in the two regions, broaden their horizons and explore development opportunities.
The 9-day trip started in Hong Kong, where the participants visited Aviation Services Research Centre@PolyU, Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited, Civil Aviation Department Headquarters, and the apron and the Backup Air Traffic Control Complex@HK International Airport. They also experienced a flight simulator at the Hong Kong International Aviation Academy. Then they traveled to China to visit the Civil Aviation University of China in Tianjin and got the chance to have a tour around the campus (apron, maintenance hangars, and labs). They also visited the Chinese Aviation Museum and Beijing Daxing International Airport. All students had broadened their horizons and got to have an all-round understanding of the industry and the operations of different positions.
We hope the participants will apply what they have learned and showcase their talent in the aviation industry to promote aviation development in the two regions.
