📷 Aerobility’s Hailey and Harvey having a great time at the Children of Courage Awards this afternoon! Thank you to theThe Knights Foundation for hosting this event, we look forward to continuing to work together. ☺️

Last Saturday, our AEP participants gathered for our first classroom session. We were joined by Aerobility volunteer and British Airways pilot Steve Pearson for an engaging “How We Fly” segment. Afterwards, we got hands-on with a fun paper airplane activity, taking advantage of the sunny weather to test our creations outside. #AEP #Students #AbilityNotDisability

The Aerobility hangar was bustling last night during the talk “The Work of the AAIB.” The event, held in partnership with Aerobility, SEMET Aviation and the Air Accidents Investigation Branch - UK (AAIB) focused on General Aviation and featured Alan Thorne, Senior Investigator at the AAIB and Lead Investigator for BA Flight 38, as the guest speaker. We hope to host more evening events for our flyers over the winter so please watch this space. #AirSafety #AirAccidentsInvestigationBranch #AAIB #Blackbushe

We are thrilled to share that our long-time friend and Aerobility flyer, Christian Saleta, has regained his EASA license! Christian actually began flying with Aerobility in 2014, earning his PPL in 2017. However, due to Brexit, he then had to retake the exam in Germany, where he discovered that flying opportunities and charities like Aerobility are hard to find. Christian says of Aerobility: "I would have never been able to gain a pilots license and to fulfil my biggest dream without Aerobility. You always need an organisation or team that supports and encourages you on the way to something new and special. People who already have experience and know how to overcome some of the barriers and problems you may face. In this way, Aerobility is still unique throughout the world. To experience the magic of flying should be possible for everyone - with or without a handicap. From a short trial flight, up to becoming a qualified pilot with very high training standards. Somehow, Aerobility has a pioneering role in flying for handicapped people, opening doors to the world of flying. And I wish many in the world will follow. Spending seven months in Britain with Aerobility to gain my pilots license were still the best days of my life with, massive physical improvements and so much fun."

We'd like to say a big thank you to Avion Full Flight Simulators for offering Aerobility the chance to give six Aerobility participants the chance to fly their Airbus A320 simulator in Luton. The Avion team - Wouter, Ryan, Pierre and Angel - helped create a great atmosphere and were extremely friendly, professional and accommodating towards everyone. All our participants thoroughly enjoyed themselves and haven’t stopped talking about who did the best landing! Really appreciate the support from Avion, and hopefully we can continue this arrangement over the coming years… #Avion #FlightSimulator #LutonAirport

Recently, we had the privilege of visiting the British Airways Speedbird Heritage Centre at their Waterside Head Office.
