This programme aims to provide underprivileged students with a unique, educational experience related to air travel, sparking interest and broadening career aspirations in aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dato\u2019 Captain Fareh Mazputra, CEO of AirAsia Malaysia, said: “As the people\u2019s airline, we believe that empowering the youth is not just about providing knowledge but also creating pathways for them to realise their dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThrough this programme, we aim to inspire students, many of whom may be experiencing aviation up close for the first time, to consider aviation as a viable and exciting career choice while equipping them with the exclusive knowledge and perspectives needed to succeed in the ever-evolving industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy nurturing local talent, we ensure that the aviation sector remains dynamic and sustainable, contributing to both the economy and the growth of future leaders in aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs Sabah\u2019s main gateway, we applaud KKIA\u2019s continued initiative to inspire 79 students and teachers by providing first-hand insights into airport and aviation operations, encouraging them to explore exciting career opportunities in this field in the future.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme spans two days to accommodate students from two schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
