👋🏻Say hello to Branden Salyer, Regional Training and Compliance Manager – Americas based in Ontario, California.

Branden and his team play a key role in rolling-out our training programs, creating and updating content, and ensuring compliance for safe and secure operations.

He describes the aviation industry as ‘addictive,’ highlighting the excitement that no two days are the same and working with a team working in unison with the same goals. Having spent time as a Training Supervisor and Operations Manager, Branden joined the corporate training team in 2021 and believes that it was his professionalism, dedication, and care for people that helped him progress into his new role. “I’m proof that with hard work and dedication, you can go anywhere at Menzies.”

A memorable moment for Branden was fuelling the world’s largest plane, the Antonov AN-225, during an overnight shift in 2008, before watching it take off and fade into the backdrop of a rising sun – the moment he credits as the start of his addiction to aviation.

His advice to newcomers? “Carpe diem! Hard work, dedication, and caring about what you do and those you work with can open doors you never imagined. The only thing that will stand in your way is you.”

Thank you, Branden for your being an inspiring role model and demonstrating what’s possible at Menzies Aviation. 💙
