About Carlos Dillon

"I bring extensive experience in managing Corporate Aviation Departments specializing in long-range aircraft operations, honed over many years. Notably, I played a pivotal role in establishing and certifying the world's inaugural Corporate Aviation Department to achieve AS9100D certification (Airspace, Aviation, and Defense Standards 9100D).

With thirty-three years of hands-on experience as a captain, chief pilot, and corporate flight department manager, I have developed a deep understanding of the intricacies of aviation operations. Additionally, I've also maintained my involvement in the aviation industry by overseeing the operations of my own flight academy and consulting group, further enhancing my breadth of expertise."
