Open Skies Pathways Information Session

Flight Crowd, in partnership with Saxon Air, proudly announces the launch of the Open Skies Pathways programme - a FREE, UK-wide careers and skills initiative designed to inspire and support young people on their journey into Aviation, Future Flight, and Sustainable Transport careers. Our UK Government-funded programme aims to open doors for those who may not otherwise have access to these opportunities, ensuring that the future of flight is inclusive, diverse, and accessible to all.

A Journey into the Future of Flight

Open Skies Pathways is more than a one-off experience; it’s a journey. Open to young people aged 14–19 (and up to 25 for those with SEND), the programme offers a series of immersive workshops, live aviation experiences, and interactive career panels. Each activity is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring adaptive resources and formats that cater to different interests, abilities, and learning styles.

Participants will gain hands-on exposure to the world of aviation and future flight technologies, while connecting with professionals and mentors who can guide them toward exciting career opportunities in this rapidly evolving sector.

Empowering Young People to Soar

Open Skies Pathways helps young people to:

• See themselves in aviation careers
• Improve university, apprenticeship, and job applications
• Gain real-world, practical aviation experience and career advice
• Build confidence, skills, and networks while gaining valuable insights
• Understand the full breadth of opportunities beyond traditional roles

The programme ensures that students’ voices are not only heard but valued, creating a more inclusive and accessible aviation sector designed with them in mind. By equipping young people with the skills, confidence, and connections they need, Open Skies Pathways aims to create lasting impact beyond the scheme.

All sessions are recorded and transformed into digital learning resources, with workbooks and activities remaining available to participants throughout their careers via Flight Crowd’s dedicated digital platform.

We welcome those interested in attending the programme to join our series of virtual Information & Q&A sessions, where we will answer your questions. If none of the dates work for you, please reach out to us at openskies@flight-crowd.com, and we will be glad to help!
