Behailu Belette Bayou

In the summer of 1989, I stepped into the aviation field as a trainee Commercial pilot. Then after graduating in 1991 with my Commercial pilot’s wings, I started experiencing the vast field of aviation. I worked as a charter pilot on single engine land aircraft, airline Crew Scheduler, airline Flight Documentation officer, airline Ramp coordinator, Flight data monitoring Analyst, Flight Operations Safety Officer, D/Mgr Flight Operations Quality assurance, Weight, and Balance performance Engineer, and as an airline pilot for airlines and FDM organizations. Throughout the ages I have been able to experience and get involved in many fields that are pertinent for Flight operations and Safety. 

I am a motivated professional with proven ability multi-task and display best-in-class performance. I write and revise Flight Operations manuals for airlines that I am involved in, which has impeccably served its purpose in the operational and regular IOSA audits.

I am a personable professional with over 32 years of work experience interfacing with authorities, passengers/clients and fellow workers. Dedicated outside-the-box strategic thinker. Extensive expertise in Operation and in the Safety management System, conflict resolution, time management and document control and revisions. Highly adaptable to addressing diverse operation and Safety requirements. 

I am currently working in Canada with Canadian North Airlines as a Flight operations performance engineer and Documentation handler.
