The Young Aviators Dinner has a continued interest to inspire and support young members from any background in the UK to pursue a career as a military or civilian pilot, or similar roles within the UK’s aviation and aerospace industries. This is a unique event for those looking at a career within aviation and aerospace and gives members of both organisations the opportunity to network and meet airline and military recruiters and representatives. The format of seating arrangements has been improved this year with a new system placing those with similar desired career paths together, with the aim of sparking productive conversation and advice. Each table will feature an experienced representative of a different area of aviation, including commercial, cargo, general aviation and the military.
 
The Air League and the Honourable Company of Air Pilots are grateful to our sponsors for their support, which helps to facilitate the unrivalled opportunities the Young Aviators Dinner offers to young people seeking a future in the UK aviation industry. We look forward to welcoming all guests to the Dinner on Saturday.
