After many years working in aviation and helping people discover the world of aerial activities, I have now entered a new chapter of my life.
Although I am retired from my professional activity, my passion for aviation and my desire to help people discover the world from the air remain stronger than ever.
My role with Fly with Xirli is now changing.
My mission is to help people who would like to enjoy an aerial experience find the right activity, the right location and the right professional aviation company for what they are looking for.
After many years working in aviation, I have had the opportunity to meet and work with different pilots, instructors and aviation companies. I know how different teams work and I have first-hand experience of the quality and professionalism they offer.
This allows me to provide personal recommendations based on my own experience.
I am not trying to sell you an activity. My aim is to help you find the right aviation experience and the professional team best suited to provide it.
I do not operate or sell this helicopter flight myself.
However, I have worked with the professional helicopter team responsible for this experience and know their way of working, their professionalism and their approach to aviation activities.
Because of this previous professional experience, I feel comfortable recommending them to people who would like to discover what it feels like to fly a helicopter.
This recommendation is based on my own professional experience and previous relationship with the pilots and aviation professionals responsible for the activity.
I recommend this experience independently and without any financial interest or commission.
