Why do you love aviation?
Growing up in New Zealand, aviation is vital for connectivity not just domestically but also to connect us to the world. Watching the aviation market grow to what it is today makes taking flight even more enjoyable.
What is your favourite aircraft and why?
Whether domestically on the ATR72-600 or flying far and wide on the Boeing 787-9, these aircraft are at different ends of the spectrum, but both are my favorite. They still do the same thing: they are vital to connecting people.
What is your industry focus?
With a passion for analysis, you'll frequently find me reporting on who flies where and how many times per week on which aircraft.
