Edwin is both a private and commercial pilot who has learned from the discipline, rigour and safety of professional, corporate jet flying, to fly his family and business colleagues privately around Europe. He has owned his current aircraft for over ten years and it has proven to be an invaluable tool for business trips, otherwise impossible by airline. He now enjoys the pressurised comfort and enhanced safety of the Pilatus PC-12 NG to transport him and his growing family and business colleagues. With his family business background, Edwin thinks long-term and he has a real passion for doing business ethically and with the highest levels of integrity.

With a background in a global family retail business, Edwin has an appreciation for operating in a challenging business environment and providing added value contribution within a cost sensitive business as well as the need to balance the practicality of business travel with its luxury perception among employees and other stakeholders.
With a family history in Aviation Engineering, Craig has grown up around aircraft from a very young age. An extensive Business Development background prior to joining Business Aviation has helped Craig develop a unique, consultative approach to aircraft owners and prospective buyers to provide useful and accurate advice when considering ownership of a private aircraft, critically advising to ensure an owner has the right tools for the right job at the best value possible. Craig notes that the key points with owning an aircraft is to understand that its a tool to facilitate a lifestyle choice. These choices are all individual and unique to every owner and can vary between convenience, time saving, cost or even straight forward enthusiasm to fly.
