The Air League is proud to be among the charities supported by Boeing as part of its newly announced partnerships for 2026.
This continued investment reinforces Boeing’s long-standing commitment to strengthening STEM pathways, supporting veterans through initiatives such as The Air League’s Battle Back programme, and empowering young people and communities across the UK.
For The Air League, Boeing’s support represents far more than funding – this is a strategic partnership that helps us open doors to aviation, aerospace and space careers for those who may not otherwise have access.
Strengthening STEM and Aviation Pathways
Boeing’s ongoing support enables The Air League to continue delivering impactful programmes that inspire young people to pursue futures in aviation, aerospace and STEM. Through scholarships, outreach initiatives and career-focused opportunities, we work to ensure that talent, not background, determines who can access these industries.
Janine Hornsby, CEO of The Air League, says:
“Boeing’s continued commitment is a strong vote of confidence in our mission. Their support allows us to reach further, inspire more young people, and help build a more diverse and inclusive future for aviation and aerospace. What makes this partnership so powerful is that Boeing doesn’t just invest financially, they invest in people, in long-term impact, and in collaboration across the charity sector. That approach aligns perfectly with The Air League’s values and ambitions.”
Impact Across Communities
Boeing’s 2026 charitable programme underscores the value of place-based engagement, with enhanced activity in Bristol and Sheffield, regions where Boeing has a strong employee presence and deep industry roots. By focusing investment in these communities, Boeing is helping to create meaningful, local impact that connects young people directly with the world of aviation, engineering and aerospace.
Through its 220+ STEM Ambassador network, Boeing employees will play an active role in inspiring the next generation by engaging directly with students. Through working alongside partners such as The Air League, Boeing can build interactions to bring real-world aviation and aerospace insight into classrooms, helping young people see tangible pathways from education into exciting technical and engineering careers.
This joined-up approach, connecting industry expertise, education and community organisations, reflects Boeing’s long-term commitment to building sustainable talent pipelines and strengthening communities through collaboration.
Janine concludes:
“With partners like Boeing, we can continue to remove barriers, create opportunity, and ensure that the future of aviation is shaped by talent from every part of society.”
