Shahid Minhas
@shahidminhas
Experienced military loadmaster skilled in aircraft load control.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven loadmaster and aviation operations professional with over 20 years of experience in aircraft load control, weight & balance, ramp safety, and cargo/passenger handling, having retired as a Squadron Leader from the Pakistan Air Force with flying categories on C-130 and IL-78 aircraft. I consistently ensured regulatory compliance for VIP, VVIP, and freighter operations, maintained an outstanding safety record, and was awarded the Two Star Green Endorsement for safe flying operations.
I have led and trained large teams, supervised complex turnarounds and ground operations, and managed high-stakes VVIP and diplomatic flights while overseeing cargo acceptance and GSE/ULD management. I am a quick learner with a passion for transferring military loadmaster expertise to commercial aircraft operations, delivering safety-focused, efficient flight support from day one.
