Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL) participated in the National Engineers’ Day Children’s Evening held at Hulhumalé Central Park today, showcasing the diverse engineering and technical functions that support the operation of Velana International Airport.
The Children’s Evening was held as part of activities commemorating National Engineers’ Day, with the aim of raising awareness among children about the importance of engineering to national development and encouraging interest in engineering and technical careers among the younger generation. The event was held from 16:00 to 18:00 at Hulhumalé Central Park.
As part of its participation, MACL showcased seven key engineering, operational and technical areas such as WSS, MSU, HVAC, Fuel, Information Technology (IT), AGA and Electrical providing young visitors with an opportunity to explore some of the specialised functions that contribute to the safe, reliable and efficient operation of the country’s main international airport.
Through interactive displays and demonstrations, children were introduced to the work carried out by these teams and gained an understanding of how engineering, technology and specialised technical expertise come together to support airport operations.
MACL’s engineers and technical personnel also engaged directly with children and other visitors, sharing their knowledge and experiences while providing greater insight into the different engineering and technical career opportunities available within the aviation industry.
As the operator of Velana International Airport, MACL relies on a diverse range of engineering and technical expertise to support airport operations around the clock. Through its participation in National Engineers’ Day, MACL sought to inspire the next generation to develop an interest in engineering, technology and technical professions, while highlighting the important contribution these fields make to the continued development of the Maldives.
