In the first Corporate Jet Investor Podcast episode of 2026, we hear from Aoife O'Sullivan on her background and how she got into aviation law, initially wanting to be a horse trainer before becoming a lawyer.

Aoife is an internationally recognised aviation lawyer with expertise across private, corporate, and commercial aviation. She advises a global client base, primarily high-net-worth individuals and leads strategic advocacy efforts to promote and protect the interests of business and general aviation in the UK and internationally.

Aoife explains the day-to-day work of an aviation lawyer, including the importance of face-to-face meetings, dealing with complex international transactions, and the increasing regulatory requirements around anti-money laundering and KYC.

We discuss Aoife's role as the chair of the British Business and General Aviation Association, discussing the challenges the UK market has faced post-Brexit and her optimism about its future potential.

Listen to the advice Aoife gives to the younger generations, interested in entering the business aviation industry, emphasising the need for a strong team and the diverse career opportunities available.

Thank you Aoife for coming on the CJI Podcast and sharing your insights!
