Indiana Aerospace University proudly recognizes Engr. Ed Niño C. Jugan, an alumnus who served as Flight Engineer in the delivery of a brand-new Airbus A320neo from Toulouse, France to Manila.

Taking part in an international aircraft delivery requires technical expertise and a strong sense of responsibility. As a Line Maintenance Supervisor, Engr. Jugan’s role in bringing Cebu Pacific’s RP-C4165 home reflects the real-world competence developed through rigorous, hands-on aviation training.

His journey continues to inspire current students and fellow alumni, demonstrating how strong educational foundations and sustained commitment translate into effective practice in the aviation industry. IAU congratulates Engr. Jugan on this milestone and expresses its appreciation for the pride he brings to the Aerospacer community.

Two brothers who followed the same dream and chose to take the journey together. Alex N. Acierto Jr. and Alexander N. Acierto both enrolled in Indiana Aerospace University’s BS Aircraft Maintenance Technology program. They may have started in different years, but they shared the same goal and the same love for aviation.

From the hallowed halls of IAU to now being part of Boeing Company in Everett, Washington, their journey shows what family support and believing in your path can lead to. Standing side by side today, they are proof that sometimes the best journeys are the ones you share.
