African Section 99s, AFRAA, Egyptair & Ministry of Civil Aviation Egypt Youth Outreach

Empowering Africa’s Next Generation of Aviators In an inspiring initiative to nurture Africa’s future aviation professionals, a Youth Programme was launched as a collaborative effort between African Airlines Association (AFRAA), the African Section of the Ninety-Nines, EgyptAir, and the Egyptian Ministry of Civil Aviation in November. This event, held in Cairo, brought together 50 bright young girls for an immersive experience designed to spark their interest in aviation and showcase the dynamic opportunities within the industry. The school that participated is the Al-Asmarat Compound Mokattam which is built by The Tahya Misr Fund an initiative launched by President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi after he became President in 2014. His goal for the fund was to be able to service the poor, the sick and marginalised people in Egyptian society with donations from Egyptians and businesses. Morning Session: Exploring EgyptAir’s Legacy and Innovation The first day of the programme took place at EgyptAir’s headquarters, where participants were introduced to the airline's remarkable history and technical expertise. The day began with a guided tour of the EgyptAir Museum, led by Mr Mahmoud Moaez. Here, the participants learned about the airline's legacy, exploring exhibits that chronicle its journey from inception to its present-day operations. This was followed by a visit to the Engine Overhaul Complex at EgyptAir Maintenance & Engineering. Under the guidance of expert engineers, the participants witnessed the intricate processes involved in maintaining and overhauling aircraft engines, offering them an up-close view of one of aviation’s most critical aspects. The Afternoon session: Hands-On Learning at the Egyptian Aviation Academy The Afternoon session brought the participants to the Egyptian Aviation Academy, where they delved into the technical and operational facets of aviation. The day’s highlights included a session on Aviation Simulators, led by the Aviation Simulator Department. Here, the young participants experienced what it feels like to control an aircraft in a highly realistic simulator environment. In addition, they attended informative speeches and presentations by President of Egyptair Aviation Academy Capt Waleed Soliman, Dina Dawod from the African Section of the Ninety-Nines and Maureen Khaonge from AFRAA, who shared insights on careers in aviation and the importance of diversity in the field. Further activities included a session on first aid conducted by the Emergency Training Department and a visit to the Cabin Crew Emergency Training Facility, where the participants explored the critical duties and emergency protocols handled by cabin crew members. This impactful event would not have been possible without the generous support of: Minister Sameh Elhefny Ministry of Civil Aviation Egypt Eng. Yahia Zakaria, Chairman and CEO of EgyptAir Holding AFRAA Secretary General Abderahmane Berthé & Maureen Khaonge Dina Dawod Vice Governor African Section Ninety Nines Special thanks also go to Dina Dawod of the African Section of the Ninety-Nines for her exceptional organisational efforts in coordinating the event, including meals and transport for the participants. As Africa’s aviation industry is poised for significant growth, youth outreach programmes like this play a pivotal role in addressing the impending skills gap. By 2030, the sector is expected to face a shortfall of skilled professionals across various aviation disciplines. Initiatives like this one ignite a passion for aviation in young minds, providing them with a clearer pathway to careers in the industry. This event not only showcased the possibilities within aviation but also reaffirmed the importance of collaboration in nurturing the next generation of African aviation leaders. By investing in today’s young minds, we are ensuring a thriving aviation sector for tomorrow. For the 50 young participants who walked away with new skills, insights, and dreams, the sky is no longer the limit – it is just the beginning.
