Virgin Airlines

Background

Virgin Airlines came to Red Umbrella in 2019 with a mighty objective: train all of their 800 pilots in mental health awareness, with pilots' schedules not being conducive with being on the ground at the same time for training.

Solution

With hand-vetted Red Umbrella trainers upskilled in aviation and were ready to react when called upon at short notice. All of the pilots were trained within the time period provided.

Results

Although this was a demanding project with very specific timelines and goals, the response from the pilots was amazing, and we saw that they really embraced the training.
