easyJet launches 'Flightsize' lockdown lessons for children

easyJet launched (23-Feb-2021) 'easyJet FlightSize' lessons for primary school children aged seven to 10, to support parents who are home-schooling children. easyJet pilots are fronting the new initiative and have created a programme of online lessons that include elements of basic geography, science and demystifying the magic of flying. The video based lessons are designed to help parents keep children engaged and entertained at home until at least 08-Mar-2021 when schools could be due to reopen. When school lessons are able to return to the classroom, easyJet will be launching a virtual pilot school visits programme, as a continuation of the airline's successful Amy Johnson Initiative, which is focused on encouraging more girls to become an airline pilot. The airline will be releasing information on how schools and teachers can request a virtual easyJet pilot visit in the coming weeks. [more - original PR]
