Kim Lewington MBE and colleagues from Brazil and Canada discussed inspiring the future generations today at Sustainable Aviation Futures MENA Congress in Abu Dhabi. It was fascinating to learn that attracting new talent into aviation is a global challenge. The stand out message remains that youngsters still need to ‘see it to be it’. Whilst there’s no doubt that those youngsters are tech and social media savvy, enabling them to research 24/7 at the touch of a screen, there’s no substitute for being behind-the-scenes or up close and personal with aviation. The ‘physical’ is what truly inspires. We’re hugely fortunate at our Gloucestershire Airport base to have businesses like Skyborne, Aeros Flight Training, Weston Aviation, Global ATS LTD - Aviation Training Services, RGV Aviation Limited who willingly welcome our #AimHigh students and all of the members of The Air Charter Association who have so generously supported us in making it happen. It’s been a great few days and we’ve made lots of new friends across the world.
