We are pleased to invite you to take part in Girls in Aviation Day, hosted by AirTanker at RAF Brize Norton on Saturday 19th September.

This event is designed for girls aged 13–18 and aims to inspire the next generation to consider careers in aerospace and defence.

Students will spend the day in a real working aviation environment, taking part in hands-on activities and gaining insight into the range of career opportunities available. The focus is on building confidence, exploring future options, and helping young people see how their interests and subjects at school connect to real roles.

Places are limited and will be allocated through partner organisations and schools.

Please find a poster attached with further information and a link to the sign up form in the bio. If you need any further information or would like to discuss this in more detail, please DM us.

Thank you for your support in helping to inspire future talent.
