At the Inclusivity in Aviation Reception on Thursday 22nd February, over 200 attendees were asked to complete a poll on the inclusivity of the industry and what else can be done to improve accessibility for all. We’re delighted to be able to share the results with you. - Biggest challenges faced when starting a career in aviation include the finance, community and the working environment. - Educational visits and industry events amongst the most beneficial ways to improve accessibility. - 95% of respondents believe aviation is open to all. The Inclusivity Roadmap, developed by the Air League and the Department for Transport, is the beginning of a new campaign to strengthen aviation for years to come by ensuring accessibility, inclusivity, and diversity. The six steps outlined in the Roadmap are the main priorities to ensure the progression of the work being undertaken at grassroots level by the Air League, amongst other organisations, continues to grow.
