Lam, a Hong Kong native, first started with Sky Shuttle as a ground safety controller (GSC), prior to completing the company's cadet pilot program in 2002. She now has more than 11 years of experience, and will fly the AugustaWestland AW139. Holtkamp was born in the Netherlands, and became a helicopter pilot after training in United States.
