If you are aged between 10 and 25 years old and are interested in a career as a pilot or aircraft engineer but don't know how to go about, come to our Future Flyers and Fixers open day.
On Saturday November 24th 2012 Virgin Atlantic Airways will be holding an open day at our multi million pound training facility at Crawley (6 mins from Gatwick airport). There will be presentations from industry leaders in training, pilots, flying clubs, gliding clubs, air cadets, Rolls Royce, and The Royal Navy amongst others. Wander around the exhibits and get all the information you need for a pathway in to the industry.
There will also be some practical demonstrations using our training rigs, where you can experience what it's like to slide down a B747 escape slide (limited to over 18's), visit our cabin rig and experience an evacuation and see what it's like to crawl in to a slide raft. Not as easy as it sounds!
There will be spot prizes too, everything from a flying lesson to a balloon flight. The day will be divided in to two session so that we can double the number of attendees, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Spaces are limited and filling up quickly.
If you are interested in attending send an email to

This is not a jobs fair nor is it intended for recently qualified licence holders.
It will be a free, fun and informative day out. Spread the word.
