Meet the Limerick model turned National Lottery presenter charting a new course

Kamal Ibrahim actually secured his pilot’s licence before his driver’s licence

“I actually secured my pilot’s licence before my driver’s licence. I could fly before I could drive,” Kamal Ibrahim said.

From the catwalk to the runway, and all while having a lotto success as National Lottery presenter, the sky's now the limit for Limerick native Kamal Ibrahim.

The Highflier, who used the covid pandemic to qualify as a commercial pilot, has just earned his wings and is now preparing for his maiden flight as a first officer with Emerald Airlines. The Limerick man, who “always wanted to be a pilot”, says he has been interested in aviation since he was a child.
