An exclusive tour of an Akasa Air aircraft offered students a closer look into the airline industry
Mumbai: Akasa Air, India’s fastest-growing airline, hosted an Aviation Experience Day for 50 students from the Logic Centre and Community Welfare Association (LCCWA) for an exclusive look into the aviation world on the occasion of Children’s Day. Held at the AIESL NEC Hanger Mumbai in partnership with Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) and AI Engineering Services Limited (AIESL), the event aimed to spark curiosity and interest in aviation among students in the 9th and 10th grades.
Logic Centre and Community Welfare Association (LCCWA), is a Mumbai-based NGO, founded in 2012 by respected community members and retired IIT Bombay professors, dedicated to supporting the development of children from underprivileged homes in the locality. LCCWA provides daily classroom coaching, weekly computer training, nutritious meals, health check-ups, and hygiene education to children who attend municipal and low-resourced schools. This holistic approach aims to improve academic performance, reduce dropout rates, and foster positive social values.
An exclusive tour of an Akasa Air aircraft offered students a closer look into the airline industry. They enjoyed a guided tour of the aircraft, providing them with insights into its design, technology, and operations.
Akasa Air Executive Committee members, pilots, cabin crew, and engineering teams hosted an interactive session with the students to discuss various professions essential to airline operations, from engineering and technical maintenance to cabin crew responsibilities. This gave them a broad perspective on the diverse careers available in the field as they prepare to make decisions about their educational and career paths.
On the occasion, Vinay Dube, Founder and Chief Executive Office, Akasa Air, said: “Aviation is an industry that touches nearly every aspect of global connectivity and technological innovation. For us at Akasa, the experience of hosting this enthusiastic group of children was an opportunity to inspire young minds and reinforce our commitment to community support. The event brought our values to life, enabling us to give back in meaningful ways to deserving communities. We hope that one day, these young minds become proud Akasians themselves and look back to remember that their first-ever aircraft experience was with Akasa—making it a true moment of pride for all of us. As we continue to expand our outreach efforts, partnerships like this one with LCCWA remind us of the lasting impact that even a single day of inspiration can have. Akasa Air is honoured to play a part in broadening perspectives, nurturing dreams, and empowering young people to reach for the skies.”
This initiative reaffirms Akasa Air’s commitment to empowering future generations by providing them with opportunities to learn and aspire.
