Meet the 23-Year-Old Business Jet Pilot Every Aspiring Aviator Should Hear

At just 23 years old, Chanelle Wilson is already flying business jets for AirSprint, but what impressed me most wasn’t her résumé, it was her humility. In this conversation, Chanelle shares her journey from earning her private pilot licence and attending Mount Royal University (MRU) to building a career in Canadian business aviation. We talk about flight training, perseverance, professionalism, the realities of becoming a commercial pilot, and the mindset required to succeed in one of the world’s most demanding professions. If you’re a student pilot, considering aviation as a career, or simply curious about what it really takes to reach the flight deck, this interview is packed with practical advice and encouragement. More importantly, it’s a reminder that great pilots aren’t defined only by their stick-and-rudder skills; they’re defined by their character as well. Chanelle has this down is spades. A huge thank you to Chanelle for taking the time to share her story. I have no doubt she’s going to inspire a lot of future aviators.
