About this title

About the Author

In his early late 30s, Sebastian has loved airplanes for as long he can think and even longer. His second word, approximately at the age of five, was Flugzeug, 'aeroplane' in German, or a slight variation thereof, as he saw the aircraft flying over his head on their way to the nearby Dusseldorf Airport. Not knowing really what to do with his life, he stumbled into a service job with one of the biggest and most fantastic airlines of Germany. Still not knowing what he wants to do with his life fifteen years later, he has stayed there ever since and when not serving passengers chicken piccata or tomato juice, he likes to visit airlines and airports around the globe to write about them.He lives a quiet and peaceful life in a small town outside the German city of Cologne and, should this book become a fantastic commercial success, is seriously looking at a second home in Pyongyang.
