Thu, 16 Sep 2010

Bruce Dickinson seems to like to keep busy and is always adding to his resume, now he's landed a top job at Astraeus Airlines.

"The role is aimed at delivering the Astreus message to a target audience of decision-makers. I’m a communicator, I have a background in creative meeds and I’m an airline captain – so it makes great sense and I relish the challenge." The Iron Maiden frontman says about his new role.

Atraeus Airlines CEO President, Mario Fulgoni said in a recent announcement on the flyastraeus.com website, "Some of you may not know that he is also an experienced professional pilot and flies with Astraeus as a Captain on our 757 fleet....I have worked with Bruce for a number of years now, in various capacities, and he is a very accomplished business promoter as well as pilot, so I am delighted he has agreed to join my team."

Iron Maiden fans need not to worry though, Bruce is showing no sign of quitting music just yet, "I could never contemplate giving up music," he told CNN last year. "People say, 'Why do you need a second job?'. I say 'Why do you need to breathe?'"
