Greater Bay Airlines (GBA) organised the “GBA Aviation Experience Day 2025” for about 40 secondary school students from underprivileged families in Hong Kong in full support of the Strive and Rise Programme Alumni Club. This full-day tour was the airline’s first activity specially designed for the Strive and Rise Programme led by Mr Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the Hong Kong SAR Government.

The mentee graduates travelled to GBA’s training facilities in Donghai Airlines headquarters in Shenzhen for the activity where they were given a comprehensive orientation of the airline’s operations. Presented in a fun and interactive way, the sessions aimed to inspire them through a wide range of topics from the day-to-day duties of flight operations and inflight services to the flight simulator training for pilots, and from the emergency procedure demonstrations using the motion mock-up to the sharing on career prospect with an airline.

Liza Ng, Chief Executive Officer of GBA, said: “We are very honoured and excited to collaborate with the Chief Secretary for Administration’s Office and Social Welfare Department on this meaningful programme. As a corporate citizen, we are committed to contributing to the well-being of the community where we live and work. Young people are the future of society and we all have a role to play in their whole person development.”

“GBA is the youngest airline in Hong Kong, yet it is expanding fast and is now one of the popular airlines in the city and around the region. We hope the aviation experience day help the students get a better understanding of the operations of an airline and how it helps Hong Kong reinforce its status as an international aviation hub. I am also very grateful to see that some of the students are ambitious about choosing aviation as their future career,” Ms Ng added.

Launched in 2022, the Strive and Rise Programme aims to help mentees broaden their horizons, reinforce their self-confidence, develop a positive outlook on life, set goals for their future and strive for upward mobility. The Programme is run by the inter-departmental task force led by the Chief Secretary for Administration.

A value carrier based in Hong Kong, GBA commenced scheduled service in July 2022 and is currently operating flights between Hong Kong and Bangkok, Taipei, Tokyo, Osaka, Yonago, Tokushima, Sendai, Manila, Zhoushan, Huangshan, Yichang, Guilin and Zhangjiajie with a fleet of eight Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
