AVIATION A
ccording to the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, some 200,000 people in the
UK currently work for airports or airlines. Airlines operate and sell flights that get travellers where they need to be, and are responsible for maintaining a safe fleet, as well as passenger comfort. Working for an airline could be ground-based,
with roles including sales, marketing, social media and airport check-in, alongside manufacturing, engineering, training and maintenance teams. Meanwhile, flight crews take to the skies to keep
passengers safe and happy. Consider applying to become cabin crew if customer service is one of your strengths – seek out recruitment drives in your local area or set up alerts on airline job boards to find opportunities. If you’re interested in actually flying the aircraft, many airlines run pilot training programmes, which usually take 18-24 months to complete. However, if you prefer to keep your feet on the
ground, consider a career within an airport. Roles range from baggage handlers and ground crew (responsible for checking aircraft while on the ground) to security, special assistance and air traffic control.
