On July 17th, the "Little Aviators, Airport Exploration" specialized educational program for kindergarten graduates was successfully held at Changbai Mountain Airport. This event marked the inaugural demonstration activity following the implementation of the airport's Party-building-led team development initiative focused on aviation safety education.
A total of 54 young children visited the frontline airport operations, learning about aviation safety up close and experiencing the natural ecological charm of the Changbai Mountain region. This event officially launched the airport's unique educational IP operation, which combines "Aviation Safety Science Popularization" with "Changbai Mountain Regional Culture," laying a solid foundation for the airport to innovate its service model and explore new revenue streams beyond core aviation operations.
Deep Integration of Party Building and Operations Forges a New Educational Path
To continuously promote the deep integration of Party building with business operations, invigorate team vitality, and enhance the high-quality integrated development of team safety culture and non-aviation revenue generation, Changbai Mountain Airport has innovatively launched an aviation safety education service. This initiative establishes an integrated development model of "Party Building Leadership, Branch Empowerment, Team Implementation, and Educational Effectiveness."
By coordinating frontline teams from security screening, firefighting, ground services, and operations support, and sharing airport operational resources with the unique cultural and tourism elements of Changbai Mountain's ice, snow, and forests, the airport has built a practical platform for youth aviation science education. This achieves multiple objectives: standardizing the enhancement of grassroots teams, cultivating the comprehensive capabilities of young staff, expanding the airport's non-aviation business formats, and promoting the coordinated development of local cultural tourism.
Immersive Real-World Classrooms Nurture Young Minds with Aviation Knowledge
The entire activity strictly implemented safety and security standards, with dedicated personnel assigned for segmented supervision to comprehensively build a safety barrier for the educational program. The event officially began at 1:30 PM. The children uniformly wore specialized program attire and were grouped to experience five distinctive interactive classrooms.
The Check-in Classroom offered an initial flight experience, where the ground service "Ice Ling Flower" team explained the boarding process in child-friendly language and issued custom souvenir boarding passes to each child. The Security Screening Practice session, led by the "Haidongqing" security team, covered knowledge of prohibited travel items. Children carried their backpacks through a simulated security check, establishing rules and safety awareness through interaction.
The Apron Exploration module, conducted within designated safe yellow lines, involved team members explaining aircraft structure and educating on Foreign Object Debris (FOD) prevention. The Bird Strike Prevention Science segment, led by the operations "Xiangyi" team, used local bird and animal/plant specimens alongside engaging stories to explain professional knowledge on airport bird control and ensuring flight safety.
The Firefighting Demonstration, presented by the "Xunchi" firefighting team, showcased a full set of rescue equipment. Children had the opportunity to try on firefighting helmets in an orderly manner and watched a fire truck water discharge demonstration, gaining an intuitive understanding of the robust capabilities that safeguard airport security. Throughout the event, explanations were easy to understand, the pace was gentle and orderly, fitting the cognitive characteristics of young children, and combined scientific, fun, and educational elements.
Educational Program Earns Praise, Jointly Cultivating New Airport Appeal
The immersive, scenario-based aviation education experience received unanimous recognition from participating children, accompanying teachers, and partner organizations. The participating children expressed that they gained a close-up exploration of overall airport operations while learning about aviation safety, ecological protection, and emergency risk avoidance, finding the experience highly rewarding.
Accompanying teachers commented that the program's curriculum was ingeniously designed and content-rich, transforming professional and rigorous civil aviation safety knowledge into a visual, real-world experience, constituting a high-quality extracurricular science and safety education practical lesson.
The representative from the Squirrel Nest Nature Camp fully affirmed the airport's well-organized activities, scientific flow design, comprehensive safety measures, and the professional, warm-hearted explanation services provided by airport staff. This has laid a solid foundation for long-term, regular, and in-depth educational cooperation between the two parties.
This demonstration educational activity represents a successful practice by Changbai Mountain Airport in leveraging Party building to empower team development, promote cultural and tourism integration, and expand non-aviation business. In the next step, the airport will comprehensively review the highlights, outcomes, and feedback from all parties, continuously optimize course content, process flow, and service details, continually enrich the aviation safety education system, actively expand cooperation resources with schools, educational institutions, and cultural tourism units, build a distinctive airport aviation education brand, deeply explore the revenue-generating potential of the education industry, steadily increase non-aviation operating income, and inject a continuous stream of new vitality into the high-quality development of the airport and the integration of local culture and tourism.
