A new state-of-the-art aerospace training facility – including a full-sized commercial aeroplane – has flung open its doors near Nottingham.

The eagerly anticipated Air and Space Institute (ASI) in Newark has now received its first intake of students.

The £15.4m state-of-the-art facility provides world-class educational opportunities for future generations of the aerospace industry.

The new ASI facility provides a unique opportunity for students aged 16-18 to train for pilot, engineer and ground-crew roles in airlines, the military, airports, and logistics companies across the UK and abroad.

The new three-storey college building constructed for Newark College sits adjacent to the Newark and Sherwood District Council offices on the former Cattle Market and is only the second of its kind to be built in the UK.

Thursday 15th August 1 pm Air & Space Institute (ASI) Newark, Great North Road, Newark, NG24 1BL
