The future of aviation is at risk. But you can make a meaningful impact.
The aviation industry is in a state of dilemma and uncertainty.
According to the US Bureau of Transportation, air travel increased by 30% in 2022, and passenger demand continues to grow. At the same time, airlines struggle with pilot shortages resulting in decreased flight service and scheduling difficulties. It’s the perfect storm, and the aviation industry is flying toward the eye.
But you can make a difference.
By donating to Aviator’s Compass, you’ll be providing much-needed support to aspiring pilots who lack the financial resources to continue their flight training. Show your support via a one-time gift or a recurring monthly donation.
