The new KidZania Singapore on Sentosa Island will feature an area where children can “work” for Qatar Airways.
The educational attraction, which is scheduled to open in April 2016, will include a Qatar Airways-branded airport terminal, complete with check-in desks and flight simulators.
Children will be able to experience flying two of Qatar Airways’ newest aircraft – the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A380 – to simulate taking off and landing at Qatar Airways’ home base at Doha’s Hamad International Airport and Singapore’s Changi Airport. They can also role-play as Qatar Airways cabin crew.
On arrival at the Palawan Kidz City, where KidZania Singapore is housed, visitors will be greeted with a life-size decommissioned Boeing 737. This forms part of the attraction’s Aviation Academy, which will aim to encourage young people to become pilots and cabin crew.
“The partnership with Qatar Airways is exceptionally significant, as the plane identifies KidZania City from afar,” said Leong Yue Weng, general manager of KidZania Singapore. “Parents and children will have the rare chance to come up close with a real plane body, and have their first taste of the level of realism which KidZania represents, as they check-in through the airport counters.
“The airline establishment, in all KidZania cities, offers some of the most popular experiences and a rare insight into the aviation industry. We look forward to working closely with Qatar Airways to offer a unique and enriching edutainment experience in Singapore.”
To date, KidZania’s global indoor “edutainment” centres have attracted more than 26 million visitors, and KidZania Singapore is expecting to attract 500,000 guests annually.
