Meet Phillip – an aspiring pilot who followed his passion for aviation after attending Futures Week.
Starting off as a Biggin Hill Air Cadet at the age of 12, Phillip knew early on that he wanted to work in aviation. He flew in a Chipmunk when he was 10 years old, started flying lessons at 11, flew solo at 16 and now has his PPL, which he completed at just 18 years old.
At age 15, Phillip applied for Futures Week – keen to learn more about the aviation industry and explore the diverse range of careers it offers. During the week, he gained valuable experience and built lasting friendships with like-minded people, while focusing on the aspects of aviation that he really enjoyed.
Phillip dreams of being a private jet pilot. He now works within our Ramp Safety Team, gaining experience and continuing to collect flight hours.
