Celebrating our 5 year anniversary!

As we reach the 5 year anniversary of the Aviatrix Project today I have been thinking about all we have achieved. We’ve worked with over 500 schools and developed partnerships and collaborations with a large number of aviation organisations. Most importantly we’ve been able to inspire thousands of young people.

I’ve had a lifelong passion for aviation and I want to ensure that young women have ample opportunities to achieve their dreams. Being supported by female role models was key to my success and enjoyment whilst learning to fly. One of the main aims of this project is to raise aspirations of young girls and to promote aviation as an exciting and accessible career choice to all young people.

Ultimately I believe that we can use aviation as a tool to raise aspirations. I want to encourage young people – particularly young women – to believe in themselves and to know that there are no limits or barriers to achieving anything they set their mind to. This is even more important in the challenging times we find ourselves today.

I would like to extend the most sincere thank you to you all for your commitment and support for our work.
