Inside the World of Aviation and Inspiration with Kim Lewington
Curious about how mentorship can transform young lives? In this episode of the Bridge Leap Forward podcast, we are joined by Kim Lewington, MBE, a volunteer with Fly2Help aviation charity. With decades of experience in aviation, including roles as an Air Traffic Controller and Landside Operations Manager, Kim continues to inspire and guide young people through taster days, school visits, and aviation career programmes.
Emphasising the impact of connecting young people with aviation professionals, Kim shares success stories of former Fly to Help participants who now work as pilots for major airlines, maintain aircraft, and manage air traffic control.
Kim also discusses her own journey, discovering aviation through a youth opportunity scheme and demonstrating how perseverance can overcome initial self-doubt. This episode is perfect for anyone interested in supporting the next generation of aviation talent.
