Richard has spent the last 30 years working in the aviation industry, and has extensive experience in flight and non-technical skills training. He has worked for a number of airlines and organisations as a pilot, trainer, skills assessor and company director.
Amir began his career outside aviation, working in law and data technology, where he played a key role in introducing tech skills to executives across FTSE 100 companies. He has since brought that experience into aviation, contributing to training and business development, while also operating a fixed-base Boeing 737 simulator.
Awarded two scholarships by The Air League, Amir achieved his Private Pilot Licence and has supported initiatives helping inner-city students take their first steps in aviation. Combining a passion for flying with a strong background in technology, he is currently training to join a major UK airline.
