I began my commercial pilot training in October 2009, and I was impressed with the professional approach of AAA, from the get go. The ground school instructors are very dedicated and most committed – always doing their best to achieve optimal results for the students. This professionalism continued throughout my practical training at AAA Maldives. There I had my best experiences and will never forget my solo flights, especially my first solo. I experienced the ultimate feeling of freedom during flight training. Working at AAA, as an instructor allowed me to clock experience. After working as an instructor, I was able to obtain a job in Maldives with the largest fleet of seaplanes in the world. Today I fly, the Twin Otter with TMA, transporting holidaymakers from all over the world that land in Male. We fly them to resorts all around the Maldives. I can truely say, that we pilots have the office with the worlds greatest view.

My professional aviation career began in 2016 with AAA, when I became a graduate Flight Instructor. After completing my FIR endorsement, I was offered a full time instructor position with AAA. When I was offered a position at Trans Maldivian Aero, I had logged 1200 hours of flying time, of which 800 hours were instructional. I found that training and instructing at AAA, set me up very well for this step into the airlines. Daily, I come across the need for skills that I obtained training students in an airline environment.
