Aviation Society: Events Head

Who am I?

My name is Kong, and I’m a first-year economics student with a long-standing passion for aviation. What began as a childhood fascination with planes during trips to the airport turned into countless hours in flight simulators, and eventually into a serious ambition of becoming a pilot for my home country. 

Why am I Standing?

I’m standing for Event Head because I believe events define the identity and momentum of a society. A strong society isn’t built on one or two standout moments but on consistency, structure, and having something to look forward to throughout the year. Events also bring people together, building a tight-knit and engaged community that is as welcoming as Emirates boarding music.

What changes would I bring?

If elected, I would bring consistency and direction to our events through:

• A clear event roadmap at the start of the year
• Run more frequent plane-spotting trips to keep engagement high (at least monthly)
• High-impact aviation experiences such as a Mach Loop trip (subject to feasibility), museum visits, and airshows
• More social events to strengthen our internal community 
• Collaborations with other societies to expand our reach

TL:DR: I want to build a society known for being active, organised, and welcoming, where AVgeeks and aviation-curious students alike can connect through consistent, meaningful events. 

If you want a structured, engaged, and growing aviation society, I would appreciate your vote. Let’s aim for a five-star rating on Skytrax.

I am standing for this role for three key reasons. Firstly, I am an aspiring pilot. As a result, I regularly attend aviation workshops, webinars and work experience with major companies like British Airways, the Royal Air Force and many more. By having so much contact with such companies, I would seek to forge partnerships that I can bring to Avsoc. Secondly, I am enormously enthusiastic about aviation. Why does this matter? It matters because it shows that I will put in just as much energy and attention into Avsoc as I do my studies. Hence, this role won't be a second thought but a role that I will persistently and proactively engage with. Finally, I am methodical when it comes to organising tasks and responsibilities. With that said, I will channel the same diligence into the management of the society's event planning, that is expected of an events head.
