About Anas Maaz
Journalist - An airline pilot. With a career spanning from flying to managerial positions within flight operations in airlines, my expertise goes mainly into aviation regulations, airline safety protocols, and the development of operating procedures for both aircraft and airlines.
Having served in roles ranging from technical pilot to deputy manager of flight operations technical, at a reputable airline, I have gained a lot of knowledge in the industry.

Bombardier Dash 8 Q200|300, Airbus A320|A321
What is your industry focus?
My primary focus is on the technical aspects of aviation, operational procedures, and aviation regulations.
What is your favourite aircraft and why?
The Airbus A300. It revolutionized the aviation industry with much new technology and was the world's first twin-engine wide-body aircraft. It was also the first jet aircraft I flew albeit as a passenger.
Why do you love aviation?
Aviation has been both my life and my hobby since childhood. From an early age, I was captivated by aircraft and dreamed of becoming a airline pilot. I am proud to have made that dream a reality, and one of my greatest passions is sharing my knowledge of the field with others.
