Rucsandra Magdalena Mihai,

Founder of Train Aviation, a business aviation academy in Bucharest, Romania, and a hub for comprehensive training, which integrates professional expertise and emphasises bespoke services.

With 35 years of cruising skies, I’ve held various positions in the aviation industry and accumulated years of experience in commercial and business aviation. My expertise stems from my extensive work in aviation across the globe. This includes delivering top-notch luxury and security services, knowledge integrated into our courses, and ensuring participants receive comprehensive and professional training.

I bring a wealth of hands-on experience, having flown over 25,000 hours as a former commercial and business aviation flight attendant. Additionally, I’ve served as an in-flight instructor, auditor, aviation recruiter, and internationally certified trainer. Since 2007, I’ve taught, trained, and mentored future flight attendants. Thousands of my students now work for leading airlines worldwide.

Since 2020, I have proudly held the title of Vice President of Women in Corporate Aviation (WCA). In this role, I actively promote opportunities for women in aviation, by providing them a platform for networking and resource exchange in business aviation, the cabin crew jobs being invaluable for the industry.

I hold a unique position as the only European cabin crew member on the founding committee of CCREW, a non-profit organisation facilitating resource exchange and networking workshops for business aviation cabin crew members.

Dedicated to my profession, I go beyond course content, acting as a mentor and role model to the next generation of aviation professionals. Leveraging my industry network, I create opportunities for our graduates, connecting them with potential employers and sharing valuable insights for career advancement.

My passion for aviation and love for interacting with people drives me to share my extensive experience and knowledge with students aspiring to achieve excellence in their careers, once they decide they deserve the best.
