I am grateful for all the experiences that have brought me to this point and for the opportunities that lie ahead with Starlux,” former Airways Aviation student, Tiger explains of his recent selection.

Both students completed their Bachelor of Business with Southern Cross University and earned their Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilot Licence) and Instrument Rating with Airways Aviation back in 2020. Upon graduating, the aviation industry faced unprecedented challenges due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
