• This expansion supports Airways Aviation’s strategy to offer multi-site training options across Australia, improving accessibility for both domestic and international cadets.
• The event was attended by representatives from leading aviation organisations, including Virgin Australia, Griffith University, Cirrus, Ansett Aviation Training, TAFE Queensland, and Women in Aviation Australian Chapter.
