Turkish Airlines and KidZania India, the global edutainment theme park, have partnered to launch the Kidzania Aviation Academy at their Indian theme parks in Mumbai & Delhi NCR.
This is the first time that any airline in the country has built an establishment in KidZania for stimulating fun learning about the aviation industry among kids.
KidZania is an indoor theme park built like a city that recreates adult workplaces so that children aged 4-16 years old can role-play carrying out jobs. With more than 27 locations worldwide, the park targets to entertain and educate simultaneously where children can experience numerous professions.
Tuncay Eminoglu, Vice President, Asia and the Far East, Turkish Airlines, said “We have always taken care of our younger passengers’ needs through creative methods like introducing eco-friendly toys on the flight and providing a vast range of in-flight entertainment options to make their flight experience enjoyable. With this partnership with Kidzania, we wish to incline the younger generation towards building a career in the aviation industry and get introduced to these professions in a better way.”
Mandar Natekar, Chief Business Officer at KidZania India, stated, “We have always aimed to empower children by providing them with opportunities to explore the world of work through creative role-play. Our partnership with Turkish Airlines emphasizes our strategic approach to do this with industry leaders who also believe in the same core values as we do. With this partnership, we will be able to provide our visitors an enhanced customer experience and some real insight into the aviation industry with the hopes to inspire a future generation of industry professionals.”
