“Craig is a proud father of five, four children and one flight school! With a passion for flying like none other, he’s been flying for 36 years and is still loving it. When he’s got a break from work, you’ll find him kayaking the lakes, or hiking the forests of British Columbia! He’s the founder of JoinAir Helicopters, an amazing Flight Instructor, and he’s pretty fun too!”

“Ben had always loved airplanes as a kid but after being gifted an intro flight he fell in love with aviation and he hasn’t looked back since! When he isn’t instructing you can find him snowboarding, travelling, or flying his personal aircraft. Come book an intro flight with Ben!”

“Walter, also known as “The Captain” at JoinAir, is an extremely knowledgeable and successful Airline Pilot and Flight Instructor. He’s got three passions in his life: flying, his family, and building his own airplane in his garage! As a trained Aeronautical Engineer and Meteorologist, you’ll always be in good hands. Walter is a super friendly and approachable guy and will make your training experience educational and fun!”

“Tricia flew commercially for 10 years and took an 8 year break to sail around the world. She returned to aviation and decided to become a flight instructor. Tricia lives to travel and loves to share her passion for flying with her students. She is looking forward to flying with you! ”

“Ephraim has been flying commercially for over 10 years. He has flying experience in various fields including fire fighting, oil and gas, forestry and electronic news gathering. He moved to Canada 11 years ago from Switzerland to fly in the great wilderness of Canada. When he’s not in the sky he enjoys traversing the ground off-roading to find new trails in the wilds of BC with his wife and two children.”

"Azam has been with JoinAir since 2021 and has seen it expand into becoming one of the leading flight training units in British Columbia. Azam brings over 13 years of flying experience as a former bush pilot in northern BC, a ferry pilot across North America, and also commercial airline pilot on small turbo-prop aircraft including aircraft such as the Piaggio Avanti, Dash 8-Q400 and turbo-jet aircraft up to the Citation Bravo and 737-MAX. His passion is to break instructing norms, teach by example, and positively reinforce JoinAir students into becoming the most professional and equipped pilots in the industry and not just another student who meets the minimum knowledge threshold to pass a flight test." 

"Ray has a very laid-back, relaxed personality, and is a highly experienced commercial pilot, operating in the industry for more than 40 years. He’s gone from flying medium to light helicopters through BC’s beautiful mountains, to being operational manager of helicopter companies, then to a slower pace of flight instructing for the last 10 years. There is no better instructor to receive a licence from! When Ray’s not flying he can be found at his home in Kamloops doing renovations or helping his kids with their renovations!"

Kyra’s passion for flying,  positive attitude, and welcoming presence makes her an asset here at JoinAir. She is responsible for all of our administrative duties and is also currently completing flight training with us. She is looking forward to welcoming you to your new training program!”
