He even flew competitions with the helicopter, which were a challenge for him, as he once said in a KURIER interview: “As a ski jumper, I was used to being primarily responsible for myself. When flying helicopters “I now have to rely on my co-pilot. There has to be harmony and we have to trust each other.”

Now he is going one step further and has enrolled at the Joanneum University of Applied Sciences in Graz to study air traffic management, as he announced with a school bag photo on Facebook. “The learning never ends, and I am ready to face the challenges and constantly learn. This course of study is my ticket to an adventure behind the scenes of air traffic. On to new heights,” he writes.

The curriculum not only includes subject-specific subjects, but also business administration and project management, because the students should be trained to start their own companies or work in management positions in airlines, authorities and at airports.
