Appointed General Manager at the beginning of 2020, he has at heart to lead ASTONFLY even more towards the excellence and rigor of a major European training center.

With 25 years of experience and more than 12,000 flight hours in the aeronautical sector, he has had the opportunity to explore the different facets of the pilot’s profession. His multiple missions as a flight instructor and examiner, pilot in command in various organisations, ATO, airline and business aviation allowed him to strengthen his expertise and increase his responsibilities.
His objective today is to bring the students to a high level of excellence, thanks to a rigorous and adapted pedagogy.

With more than 25 years of experience as an Instructor in Europe and the United States, he has supported the development of ASTONFLY since its beginnings 13 years ago. Today, he is Deputy Head of Training and Instructor for the ASTONFLY training center in Toussus le Noble and for the airline ASTONJET in Le Bourget.

Professional pilot since 1992, instructor for more than 18 years, he joined ASTONFLY in 2014 where his very solid experience of more than 10.000 hours of instruction and his skills as IRI, CRI and PPL examiner, as well as his qualifications on ATR turboprop and C510 jet give him a richness that he brings to the instructors pole.
