In 2003, he became head of sales and ground operations and moved to the Upper Volga Region in Russia. He later served the company for another five years as managing director in Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan. Tin returned to Vienna in 2012 as head of sales with JetAlliance, where he remained until joining Jet Aviation in September 2015. He holds a degree in Political Sciences from Bosporus University in Istanbul, Turkey, and numerous airline certificates from Lufthansa Business School.
