An aviation charity set up to offer support to workers affected by the pandemic has smashed its fundraising target.

Aviation Action has raised more than £10,000 through its Run the Runways challenge

Aviation Action, which was formed in May, reached its £10,000 goal within just eight days of its 31-day Run the Runways virtual challenge.

The challenge sees a team of more than 450 people virtually running or walking a different airport runway each day and it reached the £10,000 mark after virtually completing a run of Newcastle airport’s runway.

Aviation Action is raising the money to enable it to offer help and support to aviation workers “experiencing challenges” since the start of the pandemic.
