Whether you’re looking for greater efficiency, flexibility, or a new way to travel, private aviation is more accessible and more relevant than ever. Northern Trust and Snell & Wilmer invite you to be part of a new conversation about what it means to take flight in San Diego.
The Flight Society of San Diego Series features four educational breakfast sessions and three on-site aviation events designed to help you explore the opportunities, considerations, and community behind private aviation. Throughout the series, you’ll hear directly from legal, financial, and aviation professionals and experience firsthand what modern private aviation looks like in San Diego.
Breakfast Session #1 – Taking Flight: Understanding Your Private Aviation Options
Celebrating National Aviation Day
Private aviation can be practical, efficient, and well within reach – if you make the right decisions early on. In this kickoff session, we’ll break down the aircraft options available today, explore what goes into choosing the right solution, and help you understand the full spectrum of ownership, charter, and hybrid models. Whether you’re just starting to explore or ready to make a move, this session will give you the foundation to move forward with clarity and confidence.
What You’ll Learn:
- Which type of aircraft may best suit your needs (from turboprops to heavy jets)
- How to define your “flight mission” and align it with an aviation strategy
- Key factors to consider: timing, budget, safety, operations, and exit planning
- An overview of private aviation models: charter, jet cards, fractional, and full ownership
