CJI Pod #47 Dan Drohan, Solairus on buying Clay Lacy's aircraft management
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dan Drohan, founder and CEO, Solairus, takes us through his acquisition of Clay Lacy's aircraft management and charter businesses.
He talks through the road to 500+ managed aircraft, extending Solaris's client aviation manager model across the combined fleet and defending against rival operators circling Clay Lacy clients.
Drohan also reflects on how the deal came together through his relationship with Clay Lacy's Brian Kirkdoffer, and why — despite the numbers — this was never about chasing scale for its own sake.
