About Stephen Boyd

Diamond Air Taxis founder Stephen Boyd’s has had a passion for aviation for as long as he can remember. “I was one of those kids, you know, going to air shows and watching planes. I wanted to be an airline pilot or an Air Force pilot. I just wanted to fly,” he recalls. As a teenager, Stephen balanced delivering pizzas with funding his flying lessons at Bankstown Airport. “Basically, I self-funded everything. I didn’t have anyone to pay for me or anything like that,” he says. When he found out he couldn’t fly with the Air Force because he wore glasses, he decided to pursue an engineering path. His technical aptitude led him to join the Air Force as an engineering officer. “I didn’t work on aircraft directly, but I was an engineering officer in the Air Force.” From would-be pilot to Air Force engineer Stephen’s academic journey further solidified his technical expertise. “My degree was in computer systems engineering, and my PhD was in systems engineering,” he says. These qualifications led him to start an engineering business in the transportation sector with his wife Alia, which they grew to 150 employees before selling it. “When I saw the way the charter system worked, I realised there was a much better way to do things, so I brought those skills to develop this new system.” With the sale of his company, Stephen returned to his first love—flying. “I guess I resumed my passion for flying,” he says. He bought a small plane and immersed himself back into aviation, which inspired him to innovate within the charter aviation sector. Stephen’s background in systems engineering provided a unique perspective on the inefficiencies in the charter system.
