Captain Michael Baiada

Captain Michael Baiada works with Boyd Group International in the areas of operations restructuring, air traffic control issues, and management development.

A retired 747 captain at a major US airline, Mike has been a leader in projects to improve the nation’s air traffic control system, and in 1994 co-authored the first study that brought Free Flight to the attention of aviation.

He is also expert in procedures to make flight sequencing and departure procedures more efficient, and has worked with a number of clients in this regard.
