The association at work
20,000 students a year, in person
Connecting education, policy advocacy and aviation expertise — a professional platform of industry pilots dedicated to building Hong Kong's next generation of aviation talent.
The Hong Kong Professional Airline Pilots Association (HKPAPA) is a professional platform made up of over 3,000 industry pilots and aviation professionals, dedicated to advancing local aviation education, talent development and policy advocacy — nurturing the next generation of aviation talent for Hong Kong.
Each year we partner with primary schools, secondary schools and universities across the city to offer free aviation talks and flight experience activities, led by volunteer airline pilots who share their real-world experience. Over 20,000 students are engaged annually, and more than 1,200 students take part in sponsored or self-funded real flight experiences — personally guided one-on-one by commercial pilots.
Our aim is simple — to increase the local homegrown pilot population in Hong Kong, in support of the Hong Kong International Airport expansion plans. Our programmes are designed to develop outstanding future leaders in aviation and beyond, building a better aviation hub for our next generation, our passengers and our communities.
