Dinner with His Majesty the King

This week, our Accountable Manager, Johan Norberg, had the great honor of being invited by His Majesty the King to the annual representation dinner at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. The event brought together specially invited guests from Swedish business, academia, politics, and sports.

With a background as a commercial pilot, senior examiner, and flight instructor—combined with a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from KTH Royal Institute of Technology—Johan brings a unique blend of skills to the Swedish aviation sector. His drive and innovative mindset have been key in making our training program one of the first in the world to integrate electric aircraft into commercial pilot training—a meaningful step towards a more sustainable future.

Beyond his dedication to environmentally responsible aviation, Johan also has a deep interest in pedagogy and human behavior, which are central elements of our training philosophy. His expertise in regulations, safety management, and technology further strengthens the overall quality of our program.

We are grateful to have Johan as part of our team. The King’s invitation is a valued sign of appreciation for our efforts and encourages us to keep developing flight training to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
