Antonia Coppey

She started to fly when she was 20. She always had her head up when she was a child, as she grew up close to an airport between the mountains. The aircraft had to fly over her head . She finally found a way to become a pilot when she was 20. She left Switzerland for Canada for 10 months to do PPL-CPL-IR. When she returned back she validated her Swiss license, ATPL frozen . It took her two years to find her first job. She really wanted to fly privately and work in the corporate sector in aviation.
