Summary

I am excited to apply for the position at Airflite, bringing experience across aviation operations, logistics, and safety-critical environments. I hold a valid ASIC and an expired ADA, and I am eager to contribute my strong mechanical awareness, reliability, and hands-on work ethic to your team.

I am currently a pilot student at Airflite, gaining hands-on flight experience while developing a solid technical understanding of aircraft systems, operational procedures, and aviation environments. My previous role with DNATA Catering as an airside truck driver, along with transport and workshop experience, has strengthened my ability to operate equipment, conduct basic serviceability checks, follow strict safety procedures, and perform effectively in high-pressure operations.

I am confident that my mechanical mindset, attention to detail, and commitment to continuous improvement make me a strong candidate. I am highly motivated to contribute to Airflite’s operations while continuing to build my technical and aviation skill set.
