The Department for Transport is looking for 10 Aviation Ambassadors for 2024. The DfT ambassadors will work to raise the profile of the aviation industry, help develop and deliver outreach programmes and to improve career pathways.

It’s a voluntary role, although expenses are available for some activities. You’ll be expected to attend four board meetings, an induction day and to spend roughly three hours per month working as an ambassador.  A great opportunity for our next generation.  

In order to be one of the chosen 10, the DfT want you to be predominantly in the UK for the next two years, to be able to pass a baseline security check and not to have served for two years in the role.

Highlighting Keith Bennett, a prominent figure in the drone industry, who has been an excellent ambassador for 2023. Keith’s background in the drone industry exemplifies the diverse perspectives that make the role of an ambassador even more valuable. ARPAS-UK encourages the participation of individuals within the drone industry to engage and advocate for the integration of drones within the broader aviation sphere.

Applications close on September 8th
