Albion Aviation Group sponsors a 12hr flying scholarship for an aspiring pilot.

The Albion Aviation Group is proud to announce the sponsorship of a 12hr flying scholarship for the Air League. This Flying Scholarship provides 12 hours of Powered Flight training towards the award of a Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL). The scholarship supports aspiring pilots to gain further experience and is best suited to those who have already done some powered flying previously or for experienced glider pilots wanting to make the switch.  Scholars undertake their training as a residential course over approximately 10 days to ensure consistency in their learning and to allow training as a small group with other scholars so that a fun, open learning environment can develop. The Air League works with the Royal Air Force Sport Aircraft Flying Schools and other partner organisations in the UK to deliver the flying training.  

Nick West (Chief Executive of the Air League) comments: "The Air League is delighted to have the support of Albion Aviation Group for its renown scholarship program. Investment in the future skills of the aviation industry for pilots engineers and myriad other careers is absolutely vital to the long term health of a sector that is a key driver of global economic growth. We also look forward on a broader basis to working with the Albion Aviation Group which brings some valuable new perspectives to the Air League’s youth outreach and education programs".

Lewis King (Owner of Albion) comments: "I was once lucky enough to be awarded the same Air League scholarship back when I was 19 and I'm so grateful that I can now offer someone else the same opportunity. Despite the uncertainties that our industry faces, we must continue to engage and attract the next generation".
