In 2020, Haaga-Helia launched a degree programme in Chongqing University of Science and Technology, China. After the COVID-19 pandemic when travel was safe again, Aviation Business teachers have visited and given lectures at Chongqing. Collaboration continued, when eight students from Chongqing University of Science and Technology participated in a Summer School organized for the first time at Haaga-Helia at the end of August 2024. Haaga-Helia Aviation Business students, exchange students from around the world and the students from Chongqing shared a lecture focusing on inclusive passenger journey in aviation. The topic was timely, as Paralympics 2024 took place in Paris in September, with hundreds of passengers with disabilities travelling by air to Paris. Historically, the Paralympics boost accessibility of the host city, both at the airport and at hotels and attractions.
