With the changing ways of working it’s important to take stock and keep moving forward. There’s a great deal of excitement about innovation and the future of aviation, and it’s important that progression is made so they become a reality. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is focused on the needs of today, and the hopes of tomorrow. 

Few industries capture the imagination of the public in the same way as aviation and aerospace. It taps into an unparalleled sense of wonder at what’s possible. When we were told that the sky was the limit, aerospace showed us what was possible beyond our expectations!

It feels like we’re still at the very beginning of what can be achieved. Naturally, this means that there are lots of exciting opportunities within the industry and at the CAA – and it’s equally important that more people than ever are exposed to the opportunities on offer.
