Media Release: Announcement from Malcolm Sharp, Managing Director of Sharp Airlines
34 years of aviation excellence
August this year marks 34 years since Sharp Airlines commenced operations.
In 1990, we began with one single-engine aircraft, providing flight training at Hamilton Airport in Victoria. Today, headquartered in Melbourne, Sharp Airlines employs more than 100 staff and operates 18 Metro liner aircraft across Australia.
The constant guiding principles from those early days, which remain very much in our DNA today, is an uncompromising commitment to safety, service, quality, and to exceed our customer expectations. We deliver personalised and memorable service to every passenger ‘Every Flight - Every Day’.
As I reflect on our past 34 years, we have trained hundreds of pilots - the majority of whom have gone on to build their careers with domestic and international airlines, carried hundreds of thousands of passengers, operated charter and FIFO services throughout Australia, provided vital airline services to the remote Bass Strait communities of King and Flinders Island, and have uplifted many millions of kilograms of freight.
None of this would have been possible without two intertwined constants - our loyal and supportive customers across our network, who have grown with and supported us on our journey, and our dedicated and committed staff (past and present), who have all contributed to the success and development of Sharp Airlines since we commenced operating.
The years have ‘flown quickly’, and I am humbled to be the Managing Director of a company that has redefined the aviation benchmarks of excellence and professionalism.
I wish to say thank you to all of our customers for their continued support. I am, and together, we are Sharp Airlines.
