Solstice Aviation was founded by Ewan Marshalsay, a commercial pilot and A320 First Officer. The point is not the title. It is that the advice is built around how flights actually work, not just how charter is sold.
What Solstice exists to provide
Independent charter advice, built around operational judgement rather than sales process.
I am Ewan Marshalsay, founder of Solstice Aviation, a commercial pilot and A320 First Officer.
Solstice exists because too much private aviation advice starts with what is available to sell rather than with what actually suits the trip.
My aim is simple: give clients clearer thinking on aircraft fit, airport choice, operator quality, and the trade-offs that matter before a quote becomes a sales race.
Private aviation should feel calm, well judged, and discreet.
For experienced charter clients, that can mean a fast, efficient booking process. For first-time flyers, it usually means explaining the decisions properly and removing the anxiety that can sit around charter.
Either way, the principle is the same: recommend what suits the trip, not what is easiest to sell.
Being a pilot should make the process simpler for the client, not more technical.
It helps with the quiet but important questions: which airport is genuinely smarter, whether a baggage assumption is realistic, whether an aircraft category is right for that route, and whether an itinerary feels robust rather than merely possible on paper.
A good quote is not just a low quote.
The operator behind the trip matters. The aircraft matters. The route context matters. The standards behind the operation matter.
Solstice is built around independent judgement on those points, so clients do not need to become charter experts themselves just to feel comfortable making the right decision.
Who Solstice works best for
Quiet luxury is overused as a phrase, but the underlying principle is sound.
The best service is calm, responsive, discreet, and competent. It does not need noise around it. That is the standard Solstice is built for.
