What's
different this year? Where do I get tickets and how much do they cost? Can I purchase a ticket on the day? How do I get there? Is there parking at the hotel? I am flying to LHR. How far is it to the Renaissance Hotel from the airport? What time should I arrive? What should I wear? What should I achieve from visiting the show? Do I need to prepare anything for my visit to the Exhibition? Do I need to bring anything for example my CV? Will I have the opportunity to speak directly to the airline representatives and do I have to make an appointment to see them? Will there be any jobs being offered? I am currently at school/college is it worth me coming? Should I bring my parents/guardians? Where can I find out who will be there? Will there be any Associations offering independent advice? Will the Civil Aviation Authority be there? Will there be anything to buy at the exhibition? I have young children, is there anything for them to see or do? Can we buy lunch and refreshments there? If I leave the exhibition for any reason, will I be allowed to re-enter? Where can I find out who will be there?

Due to the expansion and introduction of new feature areas to the exhibition we advise you to get there as early as possible, doors open at 0930hrs and close at 1700hrs. Don't forget this is your ONLY chance to meet with the flight training establishments, airlines and associations under one roof so make the most of it!
It is entirely up to you, however please remember that you will be meeting prospective employers and flight training establishments and associations. We therefore suggest smart casual as you do want to make a good impression. Suits aren't necessary but we do advise against shorts and t-shirts.
You should leave with a clearer picture of costs, types of training available, criteria for selection on courses, different types flying with the airlines and an indicator of the current job situation. You will also gain a clearer understanding of what it is like to be an commercial pilot.
We advise you to come prepared with a list of questions that you specifically want or need answered. It is always best to research and prioritise the exhibitors you would like to visit.
It is not necessary to bring your CV with you, however we do advise that you use the exhibition to obtain contact details of the person(s) you should address it to when you are ready to send it. Come prepared with a notebook and pen to make any necessary notes, including important contact details and information.
We have representatives from various airlines in both Pilot Advice Zones and they are there to speak to you and answer your questions directly. You do not need to make any appointments, however please be aware that these areas will no doubt be busy so a one-to-one may not be possible.
Although there will be no direct job offers you will be able to discuss future recruitment plans and opportunities directly with the airlines and of course, the training providers who will be exhibiting will have their own links to various airlines.
Absolutely! This is a great opportunity for you to gain knowledge of the industry. You can research all the information you will need when deciding on your career path, costs of training, courses available, academic requirements and of course an insight into what its like to be a pilot.
This is entirely up to you, however if they are the ones funding your training then they may have some questions of their own.
