Hi there. Im 13 years old but next year im looking to go to work experience in school. Later in life I hope to become a pilot. What sort of things did you do at Gatwick airport ? Also how did you go about to get your work experience there ? Do you hope to be a Pilot or something to do with the airport ? Thanks For Your Help :D xD

Hi,

I spent a week overall at LGW. Monday consisted of having a look around the baggage areas and how that is handeled, Tuesday I spent doing a job I wish to do this summer which is working for blackjack promotions at Gatwick, Wednesday I was with the airport fire service, Thursday I was with airfield operations which is the job I want to do in the future and also an ATC visit to the tower and then Friday I done external operations.

[georgeforemanman]

I managed to get this through an array of contacts I have at Gatwick.

I wish to either be part of an airfield operations team, a flying instructor or a cameraman.

@jaymag7

No breach in security what so ever from posting a few pictures dude. Permission from BAA was aquired. Airport staff did ney mind me taking pictures and I was on work expierence airside for most of the week.

[jaymag7]

Mate, I am working for security for GAL, formerly known as BAA. Considering that these images were not authorised for the use on this website, I will be in touch with the head of security and they will be in contact with you regarding this.

[greengoblin200]

My work experience is coming up and I'd love to work at Gatwick like you did. Please would you tell me how I can get a space...

[georgeforemanman]

My dad who works for BAA organised it.

You can do similar work experience at Thomas Cook, Servisair ETC and they do the same sort of things I did, just not a whole days worth doing the different things.

[LiiV3LoNDoNLiiF3]

eeeeeeeesh .. lucky you man =D .. u must've loved it!! X .. alot of Virgins though :-o .. im liking it hehe

[zlicher]

how did get to do work experiance at gatwick because my work experiance is coming up soon and that is what i want to do

[dannyboyme4]

I never knew that Intercontinental Airways, Iberworld and PGA Airlines came to Gatwick. And I always thought the Dubai Air Wing (2:10) went to Heathrow not Gatwick. And as a quick update, First Choice and Astraeus don't go to Gatwick anymore.

[georgeforemanman]

First Choice dont forget have merged with Thomson. Astreus still operate at LGW, just they lease every one of their aircraft during the winter period.

[planeboy737]

Mate First Choice is thomson airways

[dannyboyme4]

I know

[Lee7noo8]

And Daallo using Astraeus airline and they services a route between Gatwick Aiport to Djibouti Airport. Also, which I will be using this year.

[dannyboyme4]

Nice, I want to do that. How much does it cost to have a day with the Gatwick fire service?

[georgeforemanman]

Free.

Though you need to get an airside pass and the consent to do a day with them.

[shahzadhussain779]
