Trainee pilots lose tens of thousands of pounds after flying schools collapse
Similar misfortune befell 23-year-old Zac Chiswell, a trainee pilot from Lanark.
But his training was derailed - first by the pandemic which prevented him from completing his theory studies, or ground training within the required time. Mr Chiswell said he will now need to raise some £40,000 in fresh funds to complete his training. But he is worried about the risk of losing even more money.
Among the signatories is Alex Whittingham, managing director of Wings Alliance, as well as head of Bristol Groundschool, which provides theory training for student pilots.
