The Unfortunate death of Ali Awick

Unfortunately Ali Awick was killed in a traffic accident in Dubai yesterday.

One of the truly decent men in this world and will be sadly missed.

As you say, AsiaMiles, he truly was a decent man - generous, funny and a great pilot to boot. What a tragic loss.

My thoughts go out to his family, I flew with him many times and enjoyed his company.

You will be missed by many.

Rest easy my friend.

We had some great trips together and I will always be grateful for the wealth of knowledge you passed on.

Thoughts go out to this wonderful man's family.

RIP

A great loss to aviation and his family.
We chatted at length about his reasons to move, I had the greatest respect for him as he had the courage of his convictions, and I was glad he was doing what made him happy.
A true gentleman who will be missed by many.

What tragic news..he was a delight to fly with and watching him grow through the system at CX, his move to Dubai was a loss to the bus fleet as much as it was a loss to CX..his motives to move were totally unselfish and that was the marque of the man...generous and committed to the cause of his family. You will be missed mon ami... Inshallah....

Ali was quite a character, always a smile on his face with a quick quip. And don't mention the laugh.... It was always fun to fly with him

It was sad to lose him to the Middle East but now it is sadder still.

My regards to his family and other friends. Safe travels

I didn't know Ali well, other than doing some of his training when he first came to the sandbox.

But I do know that Ali made a very gutsy move in leaving Cathay for Emirates in order to put his families needs before his own. The details are not our business but it's unselfish acts such as this that earned him the respect he held in Cathay, and no doubt amongst his peers in Emirates.

He certainly has mine.

I only flew 3 flights with him, but what a great pilot and a friendly and funny person. He will be missed in the sandbox.

All the best to his family.

Ali was one of my very best friends.

Generous of spirit and genuinely warm hearted. A true delight to be around, as he always had a positive spin on the day to day challenges we all face. Quick witted, and never shy. Always a good listener and offered balanced thoughtful advice when called upon.

Ali's dedication and selfless commitment to his family is an example we can all learn from.

I knew Ali in CX, but can say my friendship with Ali grew stronger when he moved to EK. It's been a wonderful privilege to share good times and laughter with Ali, and his Dubai Gang will miss him so very much.

Rest in Peace my friend.
