Jet Airways, India's premier international airline, today conducted
an educational excursion of Jet Airways' aircraft maintenance hangar,
near the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Santacruz for its
young JetPrivilege members aged between 12 to 21 years. JetSpark is a
unique initiative by the airline to connect with and build long-term
relationships with its young guests between the age group of 2 - 21
years. Through this dedicated forum, Jet Airways plans to engage its
young guests through exclusive events, offers and customized promotions,
to ensure that the airline emerges as the definitive choice for these
future flyers.
JetSpark had hosted a similar event last year for its young JetPrivilege members aged between 12 to 18 years at the hangar.
The
young travelers during their half day visit were given an education on
the many facets of airline maintenance and operations. The young members
were given an opportunity to explore a Boeing 737 aircraft parked in
the airline's hangar. Sixty enthusiastic participants spent hours in
admiration of the Boeing 737-700 aircraft, learning and understanding
the working of the aircraft. The young guests were also shown the
interior of the Jet Airways' aircraft, cockpit and the cargo hold.
These
JetPrivilege members participated in quiz contests and interacted with
Jet Airways Flight Engineers and Cabin Crew. They were also shown videos
as to how an aircraft is assembled, besides take offs and landings of
planes. Later the children were taken for a visit to the engine,
structure, brake & wheel and seat shops. Here they also witnessed
the actual take offs and landings of various aircraft. Attended by the
young JetPrivilege members, the educational excursion by the engineers
provided them with rich insights into maintenance and operations.
Mr. Sudheer Raghavan, Chief Commercial Officer, Jet Airways, said,
"JetSpark is truly a one of its kind property created with the specific
intention of nurturing a strong bond with our future flyers by being an
integral part of their formative years. We are especially happy to
offer our young Jet Privilege members this unique opportunity to
experience firsthand a comprehensive maintenance operation, which should
give them some in-depth understanding of how the airline operates. We
expect such fun filled educational exercises to encourage young guests
to further explore the fascinating world of aviation."
Noted Bollywood actor Konkona Sen Sharma interacted with these young guests.
Special
gifts from Jet Airways, Reebok, Lindt Chocolates, Amul, Orangina, Qua,
Jade, Mickey Mehta's Fitness Academy and Terence Lewis' Dance Academy
were handed over to the children. Refreshments were courtesy Oberoi
