The key focus of economic regulation is to ensure that airports and air navigation service providers that have substantial market power do not exploit it. We work with National Aviation Authorities and Governments on all aspects of economic policy and strategy to support better consumer choice and value.

We want to inspire and engage with young people to explore careers in STEM, aviation, and aerospace to support and encourage their future career choices. Aviation and aerospace needs to be ready for the future and we need different talent, ideas and values to make that happen. We are committed to supporting the ambitions and interests of everyone to create opportunities which are inclusive and engaging for all.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) is the umbrella term used to cover work promoting those subjects in education and to young people. Our work in the area is primarily about promoting the broad range of exciting jobs and careers that are available in aviation along with the skills and knowledge that someone looking to enter the sector could require.

It has been recognised by the aviation community that there will be an anticipated shortage of skilled aviation professionals in the near future.

By promoting awareness of the aviation and aerospace sector, the variety of career pathways you can take and the subjects that help you get there, we aim to inspire young aviators into this industry.
