Summer Internship Programme
Our Summer Internship Programme provides students with an opportunity to experience Airport Authority Hong Kong's (AAHK) unique working environment and learn about the airport's operations before completing their university studies. Through the internships, students will be involved in Hong Kong International Airport's (HKIA) daily operations, earn exposure through business-related projects, and gain valuable work experience to better prepare for their future jobs and to understand their career interests.
Interns with high caliber and outstanding performance will be prioritised and may gain a fast-track opportunity in the AAHK Management Trainee Programme and Graduate Engineer Programme selection process.
Programme Structure
During the eight weeks, students will gain hands-on experience in a department under the coaching of supervisors. They will also meet and connect with AAHK's stakeholders to learn from their experiences in the industry. On top of networking opportunties, students will participate in a series of well-structured training courses designed to enhance management skills and learn airport operations. Students will also work with a group of fellows on an assigned project and present to the senior management, showcasing their key takeaways from the internship programme.

“The level of exposures offered by AAHK summer internship programme was incredible”
The internship programme here at AAHK embarked a remarkable start for my journey in airport management.
Read MoreThe level of exposures offered to us was incredible. During my eight-week internship, I was privileged to be granted the opportunity to take part in different project management meetings involving cross-departmental collaborations, where I could learn about how project management in airport operations was like by witnessing the gradual realisation of the initiatives. Being led by experienced, enthusiastic and supportive supervisors and colleagues who were willing to coach and open to new ideas are definitely the greatest takeaways that we could have as undergraduates. As summer interns, we were also showered with different learning opportunities including airport visits, job shadowing and interactions with industry leaders. We could also work as a team to formulate proposals in enhancing airport experiences, during which our ideas were actually heard and valued by the management.
For aviation enthusiasts, I could proudly say that this programme is a perfect starter guide to your journey in the industry.

"The summer internship programme gave me a promising head start in my career"
I had the pleasure of joining Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) as a summer intern and embarking on a remarkable and valuable journey.
Read MoreAs an engineering undergraduate, I was amazed to participate in various engineering projects at HKIA. The most memorable one was the construction of the SkyBridge - the world's longest airside bridge to date - as it gave me a taste of being an engineer through site inspections, technical meetings and more. I learned from and worked with experienced engineers, and also acquired hands-on experience.
Interning at HKIA was a unique learning experience. The airport possesses many special systems and installations that cannot be found elsewhere in Hong Kong. During my internship, I was lucky enough to work on the Automated People Mover system. It definitely broadened my horizons!
In short, the programme gave me a promising head start in my career. If you are an engineering undergraduate who wants to make the most of your summer, grasp the opportunity to intern at AAHK!

Through these projects, I gained deeper understanding on smart airport development and the application of technologies in business value creation.
Seniors and colleagues were supportive and helpful. They gave me useful advice on both career and personal development. Working with them, I fully experienced and comprehended the AA’s core values, particularly "Caring" and "Collaboration".
