Our awards program includes 24 categories that will recognise the dedication and successes of the Australian aviation industry at a gala dinner on Thursday, 25 August in Sydney.

We are calling on engineers to throw their hats into the ring for Engineering Professional of the Year at the Australian Aviation Awards.

The Commercial Pilot of the Year award recognises the commercial or air transport pilot who has delivered outstanding results for their organisation or institution while boosting Australia’s aviation industry, airworthiness, and safety capabilities.

As Australian Aviation invites candidates to enter Female Aviation Leader of the Year at our inaugural Awards, we recount the stories of the individuals who paved the way for future generations.

The award commemorates the airport or aerodrome which has most effectively capitalised on market opportunities while supporting and strengthening Australia’s commercial or regional aviation industry.

There are categories for both individuals and companies, and the program culminates in a black-tie gala dinner in Sydney on 25 August.
