From the Chairman
Kodie Tse
Chairman, AIAT
When I founded AIAT in 2022, I had one belief: that competition is the most powerful form of nurturing. Not competition that breaks students down — but competition that builds them up. That gives them a stage to meet peers who share their passion, to explore what they're truly capable of, and to discover a future they never imagined possible.
AIAT is not just a tournament. It is an ecosystem — from the first seminar to the final simulation challenge, from the Take-Off Ceremony to the moment a champion steps into a real cockpit in Australia. Every stage is designed to nurture confidence, technical skill, and the courage to pursue aviation as a career.
What started as a Hong Kong inter-school competition has grown into an international platform across Macau and Kuala Lumpur, with Ningbo and Indonesia on the horizon. The mission remains the same: to create the environment where the next generation of aviation professionals can take flight.
The Competition Journey
Three Stages to the Championship
Glider Flight Design & Launch Challenge
Teams design, build, and present their glider wing concepts. The challenge culminates in a live launch event where aerodynamic designs are tested.
Aviation Theory Knowledge Test
Participants apply knowledge from seminars and courses in a comprehensive theory assessment covering aviation fundamentals.
Flight Simulation Challenge
The core competitive event — students fly aircraft in professional flight simulators with tier-based ranking.

Milestones & Achievements
Where Competition Becomes Achievement
Silver Medal at the 49th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva
Students from Chinese Y.M.C.A. Secondary School — nurtured through AIAT's Logistics campaign — developed the T-PASS (Truck Parking Assistance System) project that won international recognition at the prestigious Geneva exhibition. A testament to how competition builds real-world engineering confidence.

Silver Medal
Nurturing Future Aviators from Primary School
The Young Wing campaign introduces primary school students to the world of aviation through age-appropriate challenges. Winners receive trophies and recognition alongside industry professionals, building confidence and sparking lifelong passion for flight.
From Simulation to Real Cockpit
AIAT 2024 Grand Champions earned the ultimate reward — fully sponsored flight training in Brisbane, Australia. Gold, Silver, and Bronze champions accumulated genuine flying hours, turning their competition skills into professional aviation credentials.
"AIAT changed the way I see my future. Before the tournament, aviation was just a dream. After competing in the simulation challenges and winning the chance to fly in Australia, it became my career path. The competition didn't just test me — it showed me what I'm capable of."
