What’s it like to be an aviation engineer working behind the scenes on the passenger experience, and how can this role lead to a global career in aviation? Senior Interior Engineer Sinem Toprak shares how her career took off and why Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO) and Design Engineering opportunities in the Philippines are worth exploring.  

According to Boeing, in the next 20 years, the total air passenger traffic in South-East Asia will grow at an annual rate of 7.2%, significantly higher than the global average.

His career began early, with a school internship at an FBO in Germany. “I was immediately hooked,” he says. “That internship marked the beginning of my journey, and I’ve never looked back.”
