Why do you love aviation?

My love for aviation stems from my love for travel - for me, the journey really is just as important as the destination. 

What is your favourite aircraft and why?

My favorite narrowbody aircraft would be the Airbus A320 - it's such a versatle aircraft. When it comes to widebodies, the Airbus A350 takes the crown for the way it looks.

What is your industry focus?

I'm interested in all aspects of aviation, particularly commercial aviation across Asia and Latin America.
