In today’s private aviation landscape, many high-net-worth and UHNW families enter ownership seeking freedom and convenience—only to encounter hidden complexity, staffing challenges, financial inefficiencies, and governance gaps. Without the built-in infrastructure that corporations rely on, family office aviation can expose individuals as well as families to operational risk, cultural misalignment, and unnecessary capital drain. 

In this episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with David Clark of Integris Aviation Consultancy about clarifying the differences between corporate aviation, fractional ownership, and family aviation—so families can honor the Founder's legacy vision. David outlines a path forward: intentional staffing aligned with family culture, disciplined oversight, strategic budgeting, and expert support to mitigate risk. When structured correctly, a family aviation program becomes more than transportation—it becomes strategic infrastructure that protects time, enhances flexibility, and strengthens legacy continuity. Tune in as this conversation reframes private aviation not just as a luxury, but as a governance decision that can either undermine or elevate multigenerational legacy success.
