hello ,
>I was told that i need some sort of experience at an airport or in an airline environment<
to start your PPL or ATPL ?
i dont think that is true.
But many people start off as a Dispatcher / Ground Crew / Service agent for a airline / airline service company , so they have their name ( and a good record ) in the books once they get their ATPL / PPL .
