(PRESS RELEASE) New Delhi, India, 2024-Dec-8 — /Travel PR News/ — The Air India Aviation Academy at KidZania, located in Noida and Mumbai, is igniting a passion for aviation in children, giving them the chance to explore the exciting world of flying through an immersive and interactive learning experience. The academy encourages young minds to dream about a career in aviation, just as aviation pioneer JRD Tata’s childhood experience ignited his lifelong passion for flight after seeing Louis Blériot’s early aerial feats.
Inspiring the Next Generation of Aviators
At the academy, children step into the roles of pilots and cabin crew aboard a model Air India aircraft, where they can experience firsthand the challenges and rewards of these important aviation roles. Through role-playing activities, children learn how pilots and cabin crew are extensively trained to handle various scenarios, including medical emergencies. The experience goes beyond play, providing an educational glimpse into what it takes to work in the aviation industry.
An Engaging Learning Environment
The academy is designed to captivate children’s imaginations, with a model of Air India’s latest aircraft featuring the airline’s bold new branding and livery. Visitors can explore the rich history of Air India, take selfies with the aircraft in the background, and discover the airline’s expanding fleet and global destinations. Additionally, the academy features a live flight tracker display that shows real-time information on global flights, enhancing the learning experience by connecting children to the real world of aviation.
A Blend of Fun and Education
Combining entertainment with education, the Air India Academy offers a fun-filled experience that also fosters the development of key skills, such as cognitive, social, emotional, and psychomotor abilities. Children can participate in various role-playing activities, enhancing their understanding of the aviation world while building important life skills. Parents have praised the initiative for its engaging content, with one commenting on how impressed they were by their children’s enthusiasm, particularly the girls, who actively participated and answered questions.
Shaping Future Aviation Leaders
An increasing number of girls are choosing to take on the role of pilots at the academy, reflecting a growing interest in aviation among young women. This trend aligns with Air India’s ongoing efforts to empower women in the industry, where over 15% of its pilots are women—three times the global average. The interest shown by these young girls could play a key role in further diversifying the aviation workforce in the years to come.
A Commitment to Education and Empowerment
The Air India Aviation Academy at KidZania is the first initiative of its kind in India and represents Air India’s commitment to nurturing future talent in the aviation sector. In partnership with KidZania, known for its innovative educational experiences, the academy instills values such as responsibility, teamwork, confidence, and professionalism, preparing the leaders of tomorrow to take to the skies.
This pioneering initiative is more than just fun; it’s an investment in the future of aviation, giving children the opportunity to discover their potential and perhaps even inspire the next generation of pilots, cabin crew, and aviation professionals.
