Event Abstract
Aviation has given the speaker opportunities she could never have imagined when she joined British Airways as a graduate nearly three decades ago.
In this RAeS Heathrow Branch lecture, the 21st Charles Abell Named Lecture, the Branch is delighted to welcome Louise Street, Director of Heathrow Maintenance at British Airways, to reflect on the importance of investing in people at every stage of their journey. While technology has always been central to aviation, it is people who have always been its greatest strength, from those just starting their careers to the experienced professionals whose knowledge, expertise and commitment underpin the industry.
Louise will explore why putting people at the heart of aviation remains one of its most important responsibilities, and how British Airways’ Engineering and Maintenance is investing in talent, culture and opportunity to help ensure the sector continues to thrive for future generations.
The speaker looks forward to sharing some of the experiences and moments that continue to inspire her today, and the simple truth that sits behind them all: aviation may be enabled by technology, but it is driven by people.
This event is part of our programme celebrating the RAeS Heathrow Branch's 70th anniversary. For 70 years, 1956-2026, from local talent to global skies: the Branch has supported the operational heart of Heathrow Airport, its airlines and the local community.
