Chris is the owner of MaceAero, a central London based private aviation sales, charter and advisory company.  MaceAero has its own aircraft portfolio for both charter and sales, alongside providing solutions for prospective owners and sellers of aircraft and helicopters in the business aviation sector.

Having started flying from an early age, Chris gained his pilot’s licence at the age of just 17 and has spent over 30 years in the aviation industry. He initially started up a flying school and air taxi business before going on to manage the largest onshore helicopter operator of its time, subsequently setting up SaxonAir in 2007.  Chris helped steer SaxonAir through 12 years of growth to establish as one of the UK’s leading air charter and management operators, holding both fixed-wing and rotary AOCs, as well as establishing an FBO and dedicated offshore logistical centre.

Chris has a passion for aviation and is a strong believer in collaboration within the industry to bring the message of its value to business and the economy.  Chris also sits on the board of the Air Charter Association, a role he has undertaken for 10 years, and in his spare time he enjoys running and sport and lives just outside London, a short commute to his office at the London Heliport.
