Child with autism flies a simulator flight

Abu Dhabi: A 13-year-old autistic child has had his dream come true this month when Etihad Aviation Group (EAG) made him experience a simulator flight.

The group recently hosted ‘A Wish Comes True’ day as part of the ‘Road to Happiness’ initiative in support of autism awareness, in collaboration with the Emirates Autism Society.

Ali Abdullah Mohammad Al Dossary, who always dreamt of becoming a pilot, finally realised his dream when he tried a simulator flight and met with Etihad Airways pilots, who presented him with a customised pilot uniform.
