Australia – GoFly Online, a small Sunshine Coast online training provider, took out the ‘Best Startup’ category in the Australian Aviation Awards, recently held Sydney.

GoFly Aviation flight school owner, Damien Wills, collected the award on behalf of his GoFly Online team. The co-founder said, “I started the online side of our business to free up our instructors from having to give board briefings before each flight and to enable our students to learn by watching videos. The site has grown in the last few years to include over 350 videos, aviation theory books, pilot practice exams, as well as free resources for students and flight instructors. Student pilots all around the world now view our free videos; and students at flight schools around Australia subscribe to the site to give themselves a head start on their practical lessons. Our team is about to release lots more exciting content in the coming months and this award recognises our efforts and gives us confidence going forward.”

The 194 finalists battled it out across 29 categories. The winners included engineers, pilots, aviation safety professionals, start-ups, and innovators. “Every year, the Australian Aviation Awards showcase the best and brightest of this incredible sector, and this year was no exception,” said Stephen Kuper, defence and aerospace lead at Momentum Media. Congratulations to all our winners and finalists, and a huge thanks to the partners and staff who made this event possible.”

The Australian Aviation Awards provide innovative aviation businesses and professionals the opportunity to build credibility, grow their business, and distinguish themselves from their competitors when attracting and retaining top talent.
