First-ever aero summer school opens in Accra
The first-ever aero summer school for 3-12
year-old children, aimed at stimulating their
interest in the aviation, has opened in Accra.

The event, organised by Kilo Alpha Aviation
Holdings and its subsidiary Felvic Aviation Events
Limited, is designed to grow the next generation
of knowledgeable and intelligent aviation
professionals to fill future airline jobs by
training and stimulating their interest at a very
tender age.

The four-week long summer school runs from July 30
to August 30, 2012.

“The curricula for the aero school aim at moulding
and creating a fun-filled atmosphere of aviation
career discovery through activities that utilise
the kids' natural pleasures and interests.

“ These activities will include aero puzzles, aero
spelling, aviation cartoons, aviation history,
aero videos, fitness, grooming, health and safety,
among other,” Adubea Ayisi, Chief Executive
Officer, Kilo Alpha Aviation Holdings said.

Kids enrolled by their parents become members of
the FELVIC Aviation Winglets and FELVIC Aviation
Wings Clubs.

The aviation industry is a tremendous
wealth-generating industry, largely contributing
to vibrant economies in most developed nations.

However, the wealth and numerous career
opportunities in the aviation industry are largely
unknown to the public especially the youth in the
country.

“The result is that the career choices of our
youth continue to be limited to only the 'known &
stereotyped' careers to the exclusion of the
aviation industry's career diversity,” Madam Ayisi
said.
