Laura Desaintillan has always been fascinated by aviation, particularly its ability to connect the world. After a pivotal experience as a student flight attendant with Air France, she discovered her passion for piloting. At the time, she was a law and political sciences student, therefore she decided to focus her academic and professional journey on aviation: she served as an EU policy Officer for Air France-KLM and completed internships at Eurocontrol, the European Cockpit Association (ECA), and the European Commission.

Building on these experiences, and now working as Sustainability Development Manager for the European Regional Airlines Association (ERA), she is eager to actively contribute to AviAll’s initiatives by sharing her expertise and her commitment to promoting access to aviation for all.
