Why become a Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) Volunteer?
There are many reasons why someone might decide to become a volunteer at RIAT.
Not only is it fun and hugely rewarding, but it also offers opportunities to make new friends, learn new skills and apply existing ones, whilst supporting a great cause, the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust (RAFCT).
AT RIAT, there's no such thing as a stereotypical volunteer. As one of the leading, international aviation events, our 1250+ volunteers are as diverse as the many aircraft that join us from around the world each year. Whoever you are and whatever your background, we believe we have a rewarding volunteer role to suit you.
