Cathay Pacific is Accepting Applications for Bay Area’s Third 'I Can Fly' Program

Cathay Pacific has opened applications for its third US “I Can Fly” program, inviting students with a passion for aviation to participate in the popular program. High school students from the San Francisco bay area may submit an application online at www.cathaypacific.com/us/icanfly on or before 05 March 2010. “We’re pleased to offer another group of students the opportunity to learn about the aviation industry and assist them in making future career choices.” The third “I Can Fly” US program will run from mid-March through May and offers high school students a rare behind-the-scenes look at the airline industry. Staffed by Cathay Pacific staff volunteers, the 9-week academy covers a range of aviation topics and explores various careers in the industry from engineering to in-flight catering to passenger sales. The program runs weekly and operates after school hours out of San Francisco International Airport or within the vicinity of downtown San Francisco.

“The previous two “I Can Fly” programs proved to be a successful and meaningful experience for both the students and our staff instructors,” said Dennis Owen, vice president Marketing – Americas. “We’re pleased to offer another group of students the opportunity to learn about the aviation industry and assist them in making future career choices.”

The “I Can Fly” program was launched in 2003 in Hong Kong and due to its success was brought to the US for the first time in March 2009.
