Aim
The Air League inspires young people by awarding scholarships, and career building opportunities through aviation, aerospace, and space
The Air League is the UK’s leading aviation and aerospace charity that changes lives. Its mission is to inspire young people by awarding scholarships and career building opportunities through aviation, aerospace, and space.
Since 1909, The Air League has inspired, enabled, and supported the next generation of aviation and aerospace professionals from all backgrounds. By bridging the gap between education and industry, the Air League continues to impact communities across the United Kingdom.
Through its various programmes and projects, the Air League increases social mobility, breaks down the perceived barriers to entry and acts as a catalyst to spark the inspiration and realisation that opportunities in these thriving sectors are accessible to anyone.
Each year thousands of individuals around the UK benefit from Air League support, including disadvantaged young people, and wounded and injured servicemen and women.
Equally important to our missions is ensuring the next generation of aviation and aerospace leaders are at the forefront of developing greener and more sustainable technologies.
As a charity, we rely on donations to change lives through aviation. With your support, we can reach and inspire thousands of young people - many of whom may never have considered a career in our sector - by equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and experience they need to build a successful future.
Your donations will help us deliver:
- Trial flights for students
- Interactive engineering workshops
- Careers and networking events
- Challenges and competitions to raise the winner's profile in the industry
- Free learning resources for teachers and students
- Gliding, flying and electric flying scholarships
- Engineering internships
- PPL and ATPL theory bursaries
- The Battle Back Veterans Recovery Programme
- Drone scholarships
