Executive Director
Fadi El Masry is the Executive Director of Canadian Aviation Pride (CAP), leading the organization in its mission to foster inclusion, advocacy, and professional support for LGBTQ+ individuals in aviation. With nearly 15 years of experience in government, business, and the non-profit sector, Fadi brings a strong background in leadership, strategic planning, and community engagement to his role.
A passionate aviator, Fadi began flying in 2017 and now works as a survey pilot in Alberta. His deep connection to aviation, combined with his commitment to diversity and inclusion, has made him a key advocate for creating safe and welcoming spaces within the industry.
Since stepping into the role of Executive Director in May 2024, Fadi has been instrumental in expanding CAP’s impact nationwide. Under his leadership, CAP has strengthened industry partnerships, increased its presence at Pride events and aviation forums, and grown its scholarship and awards program from $1,500 in 2023 to over $10,000 for the 2025 cycle.
As CAP continues to grow, Fadi remains focused on its mission: to be a home for Canada’s LGBTQ+ aviation community, where members can connect, support one another, and thrive in their aviation careers.
