AFRAA, the African Section of the Ninety-Nines International Organisation of Women Pilots and EgyptAir proudly collaborated to stage a youth outreach programme on 20th November 2024 in Cairo – Egypt. Held under the high patronage of the Ministry of Civil Aviation of Egypt and hosted at EgyptAir, this exciting event was organized as an initiative to promote aviation to youth, offer exposure to aviation and inspire them to various careers in aviation.
The event was staged under the theme: “Transforming Skies, Developing Leaders”. Fifty students benefited from the aviation career talks and have the unique opportunity to visit EgyptAir’s facilities, where they explored various departments, including EgyptAir Museum, maintenance, and the academy. The students also experienced flying first hand, saw flight simulators, and took part in an emergency course on essential first aid.
