TAG Aviation has promoted Angel Wun to Gulfstream G650 junior first officer, marking a key milestone in the company’s long-running Trained Pilot Program (TTP). Wun recently completed her line check and has joined the G650 flight line after advancing through TAG's structured pilot development pathway.
The promotion is part of TAG Aviation’s focus on internal talent development to address industry-wide pilot shortages. Wun’s progression from safety officer in 2018 to G650 first officer in 2025 follows her acceptance into the TAG pilot training scheme in 2019. Her achievements during training included receiving the Sir Donald Anderson Award for top CASA ATPL exam results, along with completing instrument and multi-engine ratings.
“I shall always be grateful and honored for the opportunity TAG has given me to reach this point in my career,” Wun said. “I am so proud to be part of this amazing program.”
The TTP, launched nearly a decade ago, includes fully sponsored training at Flight Training Adelaide, where selected candidates undergo intensive flight instruction and instructor rating coursework before returning to TAG Aviation in operational roles.
“We are proud of Angel and her accomplishment,” said Juan Mas, director of flight operations. “Her success demonstrates the effectiveness of our investment in young talent and reinforces that our people are our greatest asset.”
