Stefan Corriveau
President and Owner

Born in North Bay, Ontario, Canada, Stefan had one goal in life: It was to become a professional pilot. He started his flying career in 1993 at the age of 19 and graduated from Algonquin Flight Centre one year later. He was immediately hired as an instructor at Algonquin Flight Centre. |
|
|
| |
Stefan moved on to multiple flying positions ranging from flying scheduled and charter operations in Canada's high arctic, to air ambulance services throughout northern Ontario. He was subsequently hired by Air Canada Jazz (formerly Air Nova) where he still works as an Instructor Pilot on the Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ).
Stefan holds a Canadian Airline Transport Licence and continues to maintain his civilian Instructor Rating. Even though Stefan's career as a professional airline pilot brings him immense satisfaction, his true passion is still flight instruction. |
