Spear’s Review
Smart Aviation’s global base of clients includes royalty and government officials, national sports teams and stars of music and entertainment, as well as corporate groups and families.
The firm, based near Gatwick airport, was founded by Mark Hawkins in 2005 after a decade in the travel and aviation industry with providers including First Choice Holidays.
The firm can provide private jet chartering, commercial jets and helicopters. Long-term leasing opportunities are available, while short-term leases are accessible with rapid turnaround. Hawkins is hands-on with the business and still works closely with Smart Aviation’s long-standing clients.
