For many pilots, changing contracts is more than a professional decision. It is a life decision. It affects families, routines, long-term stability and, ultimately, peace of mind. For ATR72 Captain William Hoyos Palacios, the move to Fiji in 2025 marked the beginning of a new chapter, one shaped not only by a new airline but by a recruitment partner that understood what the transition truly meant.
When Captain William first began exploring new opportunities, he knew he was looking for more than a cockpit upgrade or a change of scenery. He was searching for an airline group where professionalism and human connection existed side by side. That search led him to Brookfield Aviation.
“Changing contracts can be overwhelming,” he reflects. “But from the very beginning, the Brookfield team made everything feel structured, clear and calm. There was always someone there to guide me, explain the next step and make sure nothing was left uncertain.”
Behind that steady guidance was a management team that believes recruitment is not just about filling seats, but about placing people where they can truly thrive. For Captain William, one person stood out in that journey: Quan Nguyen, Brookfield’s SVP Business Relations & Corporate Accounts.
“Quan’s dedication went far beyond what I expected,” he says. “He was always available, always proactive, and genuinely cared about how the transition would affect me. It wasn’t just about securing the contract. It was about making sure I felt confident, supported and prepared for the move.”
That sense of support continued once Captain William joined the Fiji Airways Group. At Fiji Link, he found himself immersed in an environment that balanced operational excellence with something far rarer in the industry: warmth.
“The professionalism is exceptional,” he explains. “But what truly makes Fiji Link special is the people. From day one, my family and I were welcomed with open arms. There is a genuine culture of care here. You feel it in the way colleagues speak to you, help you settle in, and look out for your well-being.”
He describes it simply as “Fijian warmth”, a quality that transformed what could have been a challenging relocation into an experience that felt immediately like home.
Looking back on his journey, Captain William sees Brookfield Aviation not just as a recruiter, but as a partner in one of the most important career moves of his life.
“They didn’t just help me find a job,” he says. “They helped my family and me find a place where we feel respected, valued and happy. That is something you don’t forget.”
Today, he proudly recommends Brookfield Aviation and the Fiji Airways Group to fellow aviation professionals seeking more than just their next contract.
