SINGAPORE — Next month, members of the public will be able to get a glimpse, for the first time, of the behind-the-scenes training of Singapore Airlines’ (SIA) pilots and cabin crew.
SIA will open the doors of its training centre to the public on July 25, as part of the airline’s SG50 activities.
There will be walking tours of the flight simulator, safety training as well as cabin crew training facilities. There will also be an all-day carnival, and the SIA Heritage Gallery will showcase the airline’s development over the years.
Young children, aged between four and 10, will get to join in the activities. They will be able to don the SIA cabin crew uniform and role-play with a parent in a replica of the SIA A380 Business Class cabin.
Singapore Airlines’ Senior Vice President Human Resources Christopher Cheng said: “Through the open house, we aim to provide a unique and memorable experience for the public to see what goes on behind the scenes at SIA.”
In conjunction with the open house, there will also be an art competition held for secondary and tertiary students, up to age 30.
The open house will be held from 9am to 6pm. Entry is free, but there will be a nominal fee for certain activities. All proceeds from the open house and art competition will be donated to the Community Chest of Singapore.
Free shuttle bus services from Tanah Merah MRT Station and Singapore EXPO will be provided to and from the SIA Training Centre at 720 Upper Changi Road East. For more information, visit www.SIAopenhouse.com. AQILAH MIRZHA
