The sky is the limit for former Aviation student Caitlin as she’s recently gained her ‘wings’ from British Airways. Now based in London, Caitlin has been jet-setting to destinations such as Barbados, Las Vegas and New York as Cabin Crew for British Airways.
The 18-year-old credits her success to her time spent studying Aviation with Stockton Riverside College. She said: “I don’t think I’d have got the job with British Airways if I hadn’t have studied aviation. It’s definitely prepared me for my job.”
