About

As an airliner and manager, I am convinced that responsible management and technological progress have a positive influence on our society. Airlines connect people and distribute wealth, thus contributing to a better world. At the same time, as a scientist and father of a family, I care about our planet. I am happy to accept the challenge of doing one thing without losing sight of the other.
