The £15.4m headquarters for the Air and Space Institute at Newark has been officially opened. It is home to an A320 Neo aircraft, flight simulators, the latest aircraft engineering equipment and a virtual reality training suite. The site has everything needed to prepare young people for careers in the industry, such as pilots, aircraft, space and software engineers, as well as ground and cabin crew.
He continued: "It's great for aviation and space and we are going to really upskill our young people and adults. For Newark and Sherwood, what we are seeing is children and parents reimagining what education can be." Jay Shah, 16, has recently started his Level Three Civil Pilot course at the site. Regarding the plane, he said: "I didn't know until the first open day that there was a massive plane inside. I came in and my jaw just dropped to the floor, it's just amazing that they fitted a plane inside a building that we can study in and it makes it so much better."
