Transitioning from luxury sales to private aviation offers an exciting opportunity to leverage your expertise with affluent clients. Here’s how to make the switch.
Understand the private aviation landscape
Private aviation encompasses jet charters, fractional ownership, and aircraft sales. Research key players, industry trends like sustainable aviation, and popular on-demand charter services.
Leverage your luxury sales expertise
Your experience in managing HNWIs, navigating high-value transactions, and understanding luxury markets aligns perfectly with private aviation. Use these strengths to build client trust and tailor offerings.
Upskill for the transition
Gain industry knowledge through certifications like Certified Aviation Manager (CAM) and learn about aviation regulations. Familiarise yourself with tools like flight management software and CRM platforms.
Build your network
The industry is relationship-driven. Attend aviation events, join associations, and connect with professionals online to expand your network.
Explore entry points
Roles such as charter sales executive, client relations manager, and aircraft sales consultant are ideal for your skill set. Consider starting in a junior role to gain experience.
Highlight your transferable skills
Tailor your CV to emphasise your experience with HNWIs, sales success, and luxury market insights. Showcase your ability to deliver exceptional client experiences.
Stay adaptable
Be prepared for a learning curve as you transition. Your willingness to adapt will position you as a valuable asset.
