fly2help Aim High Students Visit The Airport

Thursday February 29, 2024

Gloucestershire Airport was proud to host a group of aspiring pilots, engineers and air traffic controllers as part of the fly2help Aim High week during the February half-term holiday.

The week started off with the students visiting Weston Aviation, learning about the varied work that FBO's carry out. This was followed by an informative and inspirational visit to Skyborne which was hugely beneficial for the future pilots.

On the Wednesday students visited Aeros Flight Training, RGV, Global ATS Ltd - Aviation Training Services and Air Traffic Control followed by a talk from fly2help’s Julie about the wonders of helicopter flying!
