Captain Matti Sorsa

Principal Consultant

Since starting his aviation career in the Finnish Air Force, Matti has flown for Finnair for over 35 years and is a former MD11 Captain. Besides his aviation career, he is a trained and highly qualified psychologist managing his own company, “Pilot Select Oy” in Helsinki. His specialised field is in screening and selection of personnel destined for senior positions of responsibility in the aviation, maritime and nuclear power sectors. This has enabled Matti to acquire extensive experience in the Risk & Safety Management of the most modern technologies within the Maritime & Nuclear Power Industries in Scandinavia. Within these sectors, he has transferred to high acclaim the human performance methodologies acquired from the commercial aviation industry adapting them to the demands of the ship’s bridge and the control rooms of nuclear power stations. He has also been called upon on numerous occasions by the Finnish Government to assume the role of Investigator-in-Charge (IIC) into fatal air and maritime accidents.
