Why it matters
Aviation and aerospace are fast-growing sectors in the MENA region.
Career opportunities extend well beyond pilots and cabin crew.
Pathways include engineering, research, manufacturing, safety, sustainability, airport operations, customer support, logistics, business management, and space-related fields.
AeroSTAR helps young people build awareness, skills, confidence, and real-world exposure before choosing education and career pathways.
