U.K.-based training instructor Liz Drew has launched Blue Sky Careers with the pledge to provide courses that focus on charter operator requirements. "There are a great many ex-airline people in training and their courses have references to things such as overhead lockers which are not relevant for charter operations. I will be running training that is much more focused on charter operator requirements." She adds: "The training will be aimed mainly at the U.K. but we will be looking at expanding into Europe and the Middle East."

Blue Sky Careers, based at Luton, will provide courses on aviation security, first aid, dangerous goods awareness and the human factors of aircraft engineering at sites to suit charter operators.
