Our commitment to The Air League
Following the worldwide lay-off and furlough of staff during the pandemic, 2.3 million jobs were lost in aviation
There’s currently a global shortage of pilots, cabin crew, maintenance engineers and operations staff, and this situation is expected to worsen over the next few years.
Following the 25th anniversary of Artemis’ foundation in 1999, we decided we wanted to do something to help. As a result, we’re delighted to have become a corporate sponsor of The Air League.

What The Air League does for the aviation industry
Founded in 1909, The Air League is the UK’s leading aviation, aerospace and space charity.
It aims to change lives by inspiring the next generation of aviation professionals, and break down barriers into these industries through its scholarship and outreach programmes.
The Air League aims to spark an interest in our future pilots, cabin crew, engineers and ground crew, and increase social mobility by showing these opportunities are available to everyone.
How The Air League supports aspiring aviation professionals
Many young people from a diverse range of backgrounds have no idea their skill set could be ideal for an exciting and rewarding career in aviation.
Together we can change lives through aviation.
Over the last ten years, scholarships and bursaries worth over £2 million have been allocated to young people across the UK to enhance their careers in aviation.
All of us at Artemis are passionate about aviation and the opportunities and satisfaction that working in this dynamic sector can bring. It’s not always easy for young people to find their dream career; knowledge is the key and this is something we can bring in spades to our partnership with The Air League.
Why we believe in the future of aviation
Aviation is a significant contributor to global economic growth, facilitating tourism, trade, employment, defence and disaster response.
Our work in sourcing aerospace component solutions for aircraft and training simulators brings us into contact with all branches of the industry, and we know that without a considerable increase in the number of pilots, cabin crew and ground crew joining the sector, there will be serious consequences worldwide.
Our partnership with The Air League helps educate and support aspiring aviation achievers to reach their goals. Its Soaring to Success careers enrichment programme bridges the gap between education and industry, providing accessible pathways, removing barriers to entry and proving that there’s a role for anyone with the ambition to reach for the sky. Other programmes support veterans, champion diversity and inspire sustainable innovation.
Investing in aviation's future
The Air League inspires future aviation professionals – a mission that aligns with our values.
