Fly2Help

On 2 September 2023, Luxaviation hosted its annual Aviation Polo Challenge, a cherished tradition since 2011. The event, featuring a competitive match between Luxaviation and Castle Air, drew over 200 guests. The Luxaviation polo team secured a victorious win, with Abigail Slater honored as the MVP. Proudly sponsored by Textron, the event supported Fly2Help.

Additionally, in May 2023, Luxaviation UK CEO George Galanopoulos participated in a daring wing-walk atop a Boeing-Stearman biplane, raising £1,720 for Fly2Help. Guided by AeroSuperBatics, this exhilarating experience supported the charity’s mission of transforming lives through aviation.

Anthony Nolan Supporter Awards

In 2023, Gemma Morris, Cabin Crew Manager for Luxaviation UK, completed the Marathon des Sables. The grueling 252km (about 156.59 mi) race across the Moroccan Sahara was in support of Anthony Nolan, a charity committed to saving the lives of those with blood cancer. Despite battling temperatures up to 58 degrees Celsius, Gemma described the race as “the best experience of my life!” She also completed the London Classics for a second time. Now, she is training for the Barcelona Ironman in October 2024. To date, Gemma’s efforts have raised £32,100 for charity.

Mandela Day

The Mandela Day Campaign at Luxaviation Lanseria centers around the commitment to devote 67 minutes to community service. The campaign reflects Nelson Mandela's lifelong dedication to human rights and the fight against apartheid. The team engaged in knitting activities, creating and donating scarves and hats to various local organizations, including El Roi Baby Home, Child Welfare Krugersdorp, NG Welfare, and Kungwini Welfare Organisation in Pretoria. This initiative fostered new skills and social interaction among our team while delivering essential warmth to those in need.

Philanthropy

Luxaviation was introduced to George Harliono following its partnership with renowned pianist Lang Lang, hosting private shows for VIP clients since 2015. Luxaviation now supports the gifted 18-year-old British pianist by providing a Steinway & Sons Spirio grand piano for his use. Harliono, who gave his first solo recital at nine, has since performed on prestigious stages across the UK, US, Europe, and Asia.
