eventually flying for Rex subsidiary Pel-Air on the Saab 340.

Following a rotation in medical retrievals with Pel-Air, his interest in medical flying “really took off”.

“The introduction of the medical element to the work certainly takes some adjusting to. While this can be quite confronting, knowing that if someone is in need of help in a town like Cobar at two in the morning, the arrival of the Air Ambulance means they get the help they need, and that we’ve made a difference – it makes it all very worthwhile.”

For our dedicated pilot group, ground staff, and engineers, it is not only their unwavering passion for aviation that drives them, but also their commitment to making a positive impact.

As Daniel says, “I get to spend all day looking out the window at the beautiful Australian countryside, while using a career’s worth of skills to help people. What’s not to love!”

We’re thrilled to congratulate the 25th and 26th batches of our talented pilot cadets on their graduation from our flying school, the Australian Airline Pilot Academy (AAPA).

Sixteen cadets officially received their wings at a graduation ceremony attended by june 17-July 23
