The charity breaks down the perceived barriers to the aviation industry and through scholarships and outreach programmes which create a life-long impact on beneficiaries, many of whom stay involved throughout their careers. The Air League's work brings strategic benefit to the UK economy. The UK remains a globally significant player in aviation and aerospace, and occupies world leading positions in design, development and manufacture of a wide range of technologies. However, the UK faces global competition for not only procurement contracts, investment in science and technology but for aviators and engineers as well. Inspiring and enabling the next generation of aviation and aerospace leaders, pioneers and professionals across the full spectrum of disciplines is vital to the future economic success of the UK. The Air League's work engaging and inspiring young people is therefore vital for the aviation and aerospace sector in the UK by providing the next generation of leaders, pioneers and professionals.
