✈️ Meet Integrated ATPL trainee, Lauren 👋
⁣
Lauren grew up around aviation, surrounded by pilots. But despite having flying all around her, she rarely saw female pilots in the flight deck, making it difficult to imagine herself pursuing aviation as a career.
⁣
After university, Lauren built a career in finance, but the desire to fly never went away.
⁣
She decided to challenge the expectations she’d grown up with, take a leap and pursue a career in aviation.
⁣
She’s now begun her Integrated ATPL training with Skyborne, taking her first steps towards becoming a commercial pilot. 🧑‍✈️
⁣
Lauren’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of representation. Sometimes, seeing someone like you in the flight deck is all it takes to realise that you belong there too.
⁣
If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t see people like me doing that”, maybe you could be the person others see next.

✈️ ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A PILOT? THIS IS FOR YOU ✈️

Meet Ashu, a current Skyborne trainee on the Integrated ATPL programme, based at our Bournemouth Academy.

Ashu’s journey into aviation began with a defining moment in the jumpseat of an Air India 747, where he was invited into the flight deck to shut down the engines. From that moment, he knew this was the career for him.

Just 10 days after finishing his A-levels, Ashu joined Skyborne and stepped straight into flight training.

With strong family support and a clear goal, he is now fully focused on progressing towards becoming a commercial pilot 👨‍✈️

His advice to future trainees: you do not need to know everything before you start. Stay organised, ask questions, and trust the process 🙏

✈️ From a childhood fascination to a career in the flight deck.

We caught up with Skyborne trainee Joshua to hear what first inspired his journey towards becoming a commercial pilot.

“It all started when I was four years old. I had a book called Big and Busy: How Things Go, and there was a 747 on the cover that immediately caught my attention. That moment sparked something in me, and it’s grown into a lifelong passion for aviation.”

For Joshua, a childhood fascination with aviation has grown into a clear ambition: to become a commercial pilot. 🧑‍✈️
