The Air Charter Association (ACA) has confirmed internship places for 15 young people interested in pursuing careers in the industry. Next month, the group—aged between 18 and 25 years old—will participate in a week of training at London Biggin Hill Airport, the industry group announced today.
Six women and nine men make up the cohort, including a mix of high school graduates, university students, and graduates. They have expressed interest in focusing on tasks including brokering charter flights, operations management, and aircraft maintenance.
During the week in mid-August, the interns will engage with industry experts from among ACA’s members. They will visit businesses at Biggin Hill Airport, including FBOs and aircraft operators.
Each intern will also undertake a work placement with one of the group’s 440 member companies to gain first-hand experience of working in the industry and conduct an aviation-focused research project. In November, the interns will attend the ACA’s Air Charter Excellence Awards event, at which the best project will be announced.
“The ultimate goal of the internship program is to support talented young people into employment within the air charter sector, and so it is fantastic to see the value of the program in delivering opportunities,” said ACA CEO Glenn Hogben. “The internship class of 2025 has a great mix of aspiring aviation professionals.”
