CJI Podcast #26 | Aoife O'Sullivan | Keystone Law | "I couldn't possibly do anything else"

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!
