About Dillon Shah

Dillon joined Simple Flying with a strong passion for aviation and languages. He studied politics, focusing on the Middle East and Mediterranean at Sciences Po Paris in France. He decided to leave the Simple Flying team in October 2025.

Why do you love aviation?

Waking up to the sound of planes from a young age while living near Brussels Airport likely forms the origins of my passion for aviation. Watching planes take off or land is such a relaxing pastime!

What is your favourite aircraft and why?

My favourite aircraft is the Boeing 777. Its wingspan, powerful engines, and overall size are an incredible sight.

What is your industry focus?

My industry focus is primarily where aviation meets politics and governance, particularly in the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and Europe. I also provide route analysis primarily for the transatlantic market.
