“The team at Aerobility have given me life experiences which I wouldn’t have got anywhere else,” says 16 year old Aishah from Coventry, after recently completing her scholarship with us.

When asked about how it felt to be chosen as a scholar, Aishah said that Aerobility gave her “hope to continue my dream to fly.” She went on to say that she hasn’t met any team “as humble as those at Blackbushe and at Tatenhill.”

Aishah lives with multiple disabilities, including autism, dyslexia, as well as chondromalacia of the knees.

She told us: “Flying is my passion so I didn’t have fears about taking to the skies at all. But, when I thought about my specific disabilities I didn’t know how Aerobility would accommodate them. In the end I needn’t have worried as they were brilliant and helped me have a fantastic experience.”

The scholarship has helped Aishah in more ways than one. “I have grown in my confidence, aviation knowledge, and gone to see places which I couldn’t imagine. The scholarship has improved my flying and added more hours to my logbook. I now wish to become a pilot one day and work for Aerobility!”.
