Welcome to The Hong Kong Youth Aviation Academy
Towards the end of 2011, a group of Hong Kong airline pilots identified the need to bridge the gap between students graduating from university and their first step towards establishing an aviation career. An affordable professional training package at the completion of tertiary education serves as a solid platform for Hong Kong youths to launch their career in the aviation industry.
Hong Kong Youth Aviation Academy or HKYAA was formed to carry this mission forward and the founding members of this organisation have all benefited tremendously from the opportunities offered here in Hong Kong. They all have the same conviction to help the next generation begin their careers by volunteering their spare time to conduct various formal courses and to share their professional experience.
Cathay Pacific HKYAA
Annual Aviation Programme
The Cathay Pacific HKYAA Annual Aviation Programme has been redesigned into a structured, career-focused training track aligned directly with Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department (HKCAD) Private Pilot Licence (PPL) theoretical standards.
From an introductory trial to advanced ground school, professional soft skills training, and exclusive airline industry visits—this programme is engineered to bridge the gap between initial curiosity and professional entry-level competency. Through a combination of rigorous ground school and exclusive industry visits, we prepare the next generation of aviation professionals for success.
Aviation Exploration Day (AED)
To nurture our young generations’ interest in aviation, HKYAA offers secondary school students a valuable opportunity to gain exposure to the world of aviation through a one-day program - Aviation Exploration Day (AED). This event provides students with a taste of the core concepts covered in our year-long course.
