STUDENTS from Canon Lee School in York have pitched their aviation ideas to Leeds Bradford Airport and British Airways, as part of a Young Enterprise competition.
The regional final saw nine groups of Yorkshire youngsters tackle a task set by the airport and airline about new products and services. The budding entrepreneurs showed off their creativity, innovation, business and presentation skills to a judging panel of businessmen and women.
Julia Fallowfield, Young Enterprise Regional Manager, said: “The Airline Master Class becomes more popular each year and it is great to see so many schools participating.”
It gives students chance to develop their employability, she said, as well as their communication, team working, problem solving and creativity.
The competition was won by Sheffield College with Thornhill Academy, Dewsbury, in second place.
