Marco Mumenthaler
Marco Mumenthaler completed his training as a private pilot at age of 17. At the age of 21, he has achieved his dream as a co-pilot at Crossair. After that he flew as youngest captain with 25 for Crossair, Swiss, EasyJet and on a long-haul private jet for VIP passengers. With his over 30 years of working in the aviation industry, Marco has a very extensive experience as captain and instructor.
Today he flies a private jet owned by a global entrepreneur. The prominent customers choose destinations that are not served by scheduled flights, remote places all over the world like Siberia, Africa and South America. In the many years of flying, he has learned to be open and flexible in all situations. The cultural and social differences on his travels allowed him to broaden his horizons.
In 2023 Marco joined the team as Product Manager and TASMA Pilot Support Coach in Training.
He supports Diederika with the development of the Pilot Training and likes to support pilots to maintain their mental and physical health in near future as a TASMA Pilot Support Coach.
Flying is my passion!
«Pilot is still my dream job, although as I get older the time difference and night flights become more difficult for me. We pilots undergo an annual medical check-up and semi-annually our skills are tested in the flight simulator. These tests are always present in the back of our minds. If I should fail one of these tests, my flying career is over. Therefore a healthy body and mind is my capital.
It is very important for a pilot to maintain a healthy lifestyle and do something to keep their mental fitness.
When Diederika and Markus told me about their project, I was very excited to join the team and share my experiences and support other pilots to stay fit. I know how it feels for pilots to undertake their medical check-up. Speaking about mental health or seeking for mental help is often not an option in our job. With our TASMA Pilot Support & Training programme I like to make a change!
I like to support colleagues in the aviation industry to keep up their performance and their joy for doing their daily flying business. You have to believe in yourself and you need people who also believe in you».
