Working in partnership with Boeing, British Airways and Linklaters, the Air League has been reaching out to inner city schools across London to provide an introduction to aviation. The students spent two weeks on site in Dunstable, at the Gliding Club. The students also received a year’s membership for both The Air League and the Gliding Club, encouraging them to continue their journeys in aviation.
