Get your children waxing lyrical about the aviation sector – the wealth of jobs is just incredible.
From jobs at the airport (think Fire and Rescue, Aircraft Despatch, Check-in, Air Traffic Control and Engineering) to jobs in the office (Marketing, Travel Agents, Revenue Management, E-commerce, Sales, Legal etc) to jobs in the air (Flight Attendants, Air Ambulance, Pilots etc). And we haven’t even touched on training and flight instructors!
