The Irish Aviation Students’ Association (IASA) recently hosted their first career exposition. The main goals of the event were to connect aviation-passionate students with the industry, and to discover and develop opportunities that will shape the future of aviation in Ireland and beyond.
EY was delighted to take a stand at the event and to inform the students that careers in aviation are not confined to engineers and pilots! The EY team spent the day highlighting the career opportunities in the finance, tax and legal disciplines. If you were unable to attend but have an interest in working in the aviation industry, the team put together this guide to the top three questions they were asked at the event.
EY provides assurance, tax and advisory services to 36 of the top 50 lessors in the world, such as Avolon, BBAM and Aircastle.
