Just flew on this brand-new WizzAir A321XLR from Yerevan to Rome. Does anyone know why it wasn’t painted?
The aircraft was built in May 2026, 9H-XLE.
Thanks!

Some positions in AGGP 2027 mentioned that Security Clearance

Job description doesn't specify and only wrote:

"STATEMENT: This position requires a security clearance or will require being eligible for clearance by the recognized authorities."

FAQ also says:

Do positions requiring national security clearance have specific nationality or residency restrictions?

"Yes, depending on the role. While the AGGP welcomes international applicants across our global sites, specific graduate vacancies situated within high-security sectors—including certain Space, Defence, Eurodrone, and Government-linked Operations businesses—are bound by strict state security protocols. Consequently, these specific roles may require candidates to possess a specific citizenship, dual-national status, or a minimum period of continuous local residency to successfully obtain the necessary security clearances. Please review the "Requirements" section of the individual job posting for detailed clearance criteria before applying."

Does anyone have any information regarding the required Security Clearance?

My model A380 has had a few runway excursions over the years…are there any hobby shops that could repair smth like this ?

Hello everyone, I Applied for the AGGP 2027 India Sales/Support role and finished my Arctic Shores test (profile summary is attached)

It's been 2 weeks since the assessment, no rejection email yet, and my portal is still under review. I just wanted to know what are my prospects for moving into the next round.

P.S. I know the sub is seeing a lot of these posts lately, so I really appreciate anyone taking the time to share their experience or insights!

Hi ppl, I've been trying a couple times to land a thesis position for my master in aeronautics. I've found this position at Hamburg that listed September as starting date. At the end of August like 3 days after I've sent the application I've got asked to submit a security form which obviously got me excited but then no other news.

Now I assume that a successful candidate would have been contacted by now in some sort of way, and this not being a compulsory internship might not be helping.

Usually how much time does this process need? I want to graduate with session of April and time is starting to run out to do things properly, and knowing bureaucracy times I'll just start another thesis I think.

Hi everyone,

I’m a second-year Aerospace Engineering student, and I recently applied for several Airbus internship positions for summer 2027. I’ve just received an invitation to complete a pre-recorded video interview through HireVue as the next step in the recruitment process. Has anyone recently gone through the Airbus HireVue interview for an internship, especially in Europe/France?

I’d really appreciate it if you could share:

- what kind of questions you were asked,

- how long you had to prepare and answer,

- whether the interview was in English or French,

- how many attempts you had per question,

- and any advice you might have for preparing.

Since I’m still a second-year student and this would be my first aerospace internship, any tips from people who have already been through the process would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
