International Women's Day - Tuesday 8th March 2022
Josiah Kirpalani08 Mar 2022
International Women's Day is a global day which celebrates the social, cultural, economic, and political achievements of women. As well as being a day for celebration, a significant part of the day is also making a call to action for accelerating women's equality.
Aviation is an industry where both of these elements of International Women’s Day can be seen. Great strides have been taken and achieved for female pilots, however, indisputably, more can and needs to be done to ensure that there is true equality in the aviation industry. - Only 5.8% of the world’s airline pilots are female (The International Society of Women Airline Pilots (ISA+21).

Success at Virgin Future Flyers
Charlotte Berrystone21 Feb 2019
We attended Virgin Atlantic's Future Flyer and Expert Engineers Day.
The event was organised with the intention to inspire children aged 9-16 years who may not have considered a role within aviation - a dynamic and expanding industry.
We were thrilled to be invited to the event and able to offer our support to such a local, and influential brand.

Ryan explains his journey to becoming a pilot at FTA Global
Charlotte Berrystone23 May 2018
We spoke to Ryan whilst he was completing the final stages of his training. He chose to enrol on our UK-based Integrated Flight Deck Programme.
Interestingly, Ryan had not always set out to become a pilot. Having turned down the opportunity to do a Private Pilot's Licence when he was younger, Ryan had embarked on a degree in the US.
Throughout the interview, it was clear that Ryan is a very level-headed, committed student with a real passion for flying.
