Educational in-situ visits are incorporated in all Metropolitan College's programmes of study as they promote students' motivation for knowledge and their connection with the functioning of the job market.
During the interactive presentation, students witnessed a simulation of a commercial flight from gate (departure airport) to gate (arrival airport), encompassing all stages of the flight: preparation, airport operations, air traffic management functions, and post-flight actions. Additionally, they had the opportunity to interact with all the systems used to facilitate the operation of the air transportation system.
The presentation was followed by a guided tour of the key facilities and operations. Students made stops at keypoint stations of the airports such as the Crisis Management Center, the Operations Control Center, the Firefighting, Airport Terminal, and the Air Traffic Control Tower.
Through this educational event, they gained in-depth knowledge of the air transportation system operations and the the importance of various aspects of aviation safety and passenger experience. Impressed by what they saw and experienced, they described their participation as a “unique, unforgettable experience.”
