Sukhvir Singh Mavi

Hometown: Bathinda, India
Alma Mater: Georgian College
Fun fact about yourself: As
much as I love to dance - I can
move my ears as well.
Someone I look up to in
the industry: Tony Fernandes,
AirAsia Airline Founder & Group
CEO
My favorite thing about
aviation is: The scenic views
from an airplane and flight
benefits as an airline employee.

Sukhvir Mavi's peers view him as a natural people leader
and forward thinker, known for his project ownership,
commitments and strong relationships with business partners
and contractors.
He began his career with commercial flying in the U.S. and
Philippines and immigrated to Canada in 2013 for more
opportunities and to pursue his career in flight instruction.
His career progressed from commercial flying to airline
management, airport operations, terminal operations
(construction and coordination) and now project management
for Nieuport Aviation.
" I'm a people person and the one word to describe my present
role is variety, " he said. " I'm not a person who can get into the
office and do the same job, the same activity in the same role
every day. The best part of my role is working with different
teams and stakeholders and different mindsets and different
departments. The key thing is the learning. I love that part. Life
is all about more and more learning. "
Mavi has developed an impactful career at the Billy Bishop
Toronto City Airport (YTZ). He's responsible for airport
operations projects (OPEX) while also facilitating capital
projects. He's currently project managing work for the
implementation of YTZ's airport management system (AMS),
flight information display screens (FIDS), common use

terminal equipment (CUTE) and passenger counting/fill-level
Xovis project.
Mavi was instrumental with his contributions related to the
multi-million dollar Billy Bishop terminal upgrade project
which included the addition of 35,000 square feet of lounge
space to the terminal footprint, including an additional new
transborder gate, lounge renovation and concessions.
He was able to accomplish this through his collaborative style
leadership and his foundation of strong relationships built
with contractors, business partners and, most important,
stakeholders of the terminal and airport alike.
Mavi is a committee member of operations and technical
affairs committee with Airport Council International North
America (ACI-NA) and actively participates in multiple
aviation seminars and conferences as a volunteer. He also
volunteered his time as a welcome team employee at Toronto
Pearson.
Mavi is able to deliver multiple projects in IT and construction
despite not having a formal education in that area. " It's all
about having the right attitude, " he said. " There will be failures
along the journey, but if you have the the right mindset you
can overcome it. "
