Bio
Peri Wakama
I was trained by Mirko on the SK76 and worked with him at Atlantic Aviation. I found him to be a profoundly insightful and experienced trainer with the highest safety standards. In Management capacity, Captain Mirko was goal - driven and an excellent manager of people and resources.
LinkedIn User
Mirko is a progressive and pro active individual which is reflected in his advancement from line captain to manager flight operations. His ability to plan ahead and but also quickly reacted to changes was demonstrated when he took over the role of a AOC post holder. Mirko's high level of operational experience in a very challenging environment is an asset to any major corporation.
