Student story: From peacekeeper to airline pilot
Tuomas Hagman didn’t dream of becoming a pilot as a child. His interest in aviation was sparked while serving as a peacekeeper in Lebanon, where helicopter operations were part of his daily work. Today, his airline pilot training at Aeropole is in the final stretch.
In his story, Tuomas shares what it’s like to study alongside work, how his first solo flight felt, and why there’s no point waiting for the “right moment” to pursue a career in aviation.
