The Legacy of Mr. Alberto Alberty

Founded on March 3, 1982, in Miami, Florida, Technical Aviation Services (TAS) was the vision of aviation pioneer Mr. Alberto Alberty, whose remarkable career spanned nearly every facet of aviation. Throughout his lifetime, he served as a Navy Navigator, military flight navigator, flight engineer, airline captain, air traffic controller, FAA Aircraft Dispatcher, airline instructor, and aviation consultant.

Driven by a passion for aviation education, Mr. Alberty established TAS to provide real-world, professional training that would prepare future generations of aviation professionals for successful careers in airline operations. His commitment to operational excellence and uncompromising standards quickly earned TAS an international reputation for excellence.

In 2016, just six months before his passing, Mr. Alberty entrusted his life's work to Luis Guerrero, one of his former students and an accomplished aviation professional. By transferring ownership of TAS, he ensured that his vision, values, and commitment to world-class aviation training would continue for generations to come.

Today, more than four decades later, TAS proudly honors Mr. Alberty's legacy as the World's Oldest FAA Aircraft Dispatcher School, continuing to train aviation professionals with the same passion, integrity, and pursuit of excellence that inspired its founding.

The Journey of Luis Guerrero

Luis Guerrero began his aviation career in 2001 while earning a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Engineering from Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology in New York. He also completed his flight training, developing a strong foundation in aviation operations.

His career began with Piper Aircraft, working as an engineer on the Malibu aircraft program and contributing to the development of the Honda Jet prototype. In 2009, Luis earned his FAA Aircraft Dispatcher Certificate at TAS, launching a career in airline operations, serving as FAA Aircraft Dispatcher and Loadmaster at Avianca Cargo, dispatching international flights across North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

As part of the founding teams of multiple airlines, Luis helped develop operational procedures, dispatch systems, and airline control centers. In 2023, as part of the founding team, he became Director of SOC at 7 Air Cargo, overseeing dispatch, flight following, operational control, and crew scheduling.

Today, Luis remains an active FAA Aircraft Dispatcher and Airline Training Specialist (ATS) Instructor at one of Miami's leading cargo airlines. His expertise includes ETOPS/EDTO, international flight operations, advanced flight planning, Operations Control Centers (OCC/SOC), EWINS, aircraft dispatch, and loadmaster operations. As President of TAS and Chief Instructor, he is committed to preparing the next generation of aviation professionals.

"Real instructors. Real airline systems. Real operations. Real careers."
