• Five Select Aviation College students—Jin Qian, Jean-François Binette, Raymond Kisyanga, Thomas Jaramillo, and Diego Rodriguez—have been selected for the Destination Porter program for 2024.
• Applications for the 2025 intake are open until April 30, 2025, with final selections to be confirmed in early June 2025. Eligible students must maintain a minimum 80% average and complete their training within the prescribed timeline.
