My Organisation 

Ten years and counting and I’m still in awe. In awe of the 80,000 amazing people from over 400 companies doing extraordinary things to make every journey better at Heathrow - the UK’s hub airport, busiest in Europe, and most connected in the world with over 200 destinations served. The airport handles tens of millions of passengers each year and supports a significant range of operations including passenger services, air cargo, engineering, security, retail, and air traffic management. 


What is the value of the AISB to your organisation? 

As job roles evolve and new skills are needed, our participation in the Aviation Industry Skills Board helps us shape sector skills and promote accessible careers. We work with government bodies to address industry skill needs and inform policies like the Growth and Skills Levy to ensure employer relevance.
