Airline Builders | Cairns School Holiday Program 2025

If You Could Build Your Own Airline, What Would It Look Like?

Over the course of two-action packed days, the Airline Builders school holiday program will see students working to bring their own airline to life as they learn what it takes to get an airline off the ground.  

Over the course of the program students will be analysing the current airlines flying in Australia, identifying a gap in the market, and creating their plan for an airline to service the Australian market either regionally, domestically or internationally. Students will be selecting aircraft types, planning routes, designing livery and flight attendant uniforms, planning the business case and pitching their airlines to the Aviation Australia team at the conclusion of the program. 

With industry speakers and hands-on experiences students will leave this program inspired by the opportunities available to them in the aviation industry. Whether you're wanting to explore a career in aviation, or if you're just wanting to spend a few days diving deep in to all things commercial aviation, this hands-on program is full of exciting opportunities to help you bring your ideas to life. We can't wait to see you there!
