One of our core values at Flight Works Alabama is COLLABORATION, because we are "Better Together." Our team listens to, connects with, and works alongside partners in industry, education, and the community.

Every year, Delta’s Flight Operations, in partnership with Women in Aviation International, hosts the WING Flight (Women Inspiring Next Generation) to introduce young women ages 11-18 to aviation and aerospace careers. Last week, for the 11th annual WING Flight, 160 young women from Atlanta-area schools came to Mobile to see how aircraft come to life.

Delta Air Lines, Airbus, Bishop State Community College, and Flight Works Alabama came together to curate a truly fabulous day in advanced manufacturing. The girls were able to visit our interactive aerospace exhibit, play “Hammer It Out,” a quality-control card game, tour the final assembly line of the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Site, visit Bishop State’s Gene Haas Center for Advanced Manufacturing Technology, and end the day with a panel discussion.

This day would not have happened without partnership and collaboration. Special thanks to our vendors for the day: Signature Aviation, Port City Rentals, CiCi’s Pizza, and Chick-fil-A Bel Air

Flight Works Alabama Board Vice President Nathan England said it best: “They don’t need a brochure. What they need is exposure. They need to see what these careers actually look like, to talk to people doing them, and to connect what they’re learning in school to something real.”
