Martyn Fiddler Featured in Aviation Week Network: Leading the Conversation in Business Aviation and Yachting
We’re delighted to announce that Martyn Fiddler has been prominently featured in two compelling articles by journalist Angus Batey, published by the esteemed Aviation Week Network. These features explore the evolving challenges and synergies within business aviation and yachts; two industries that, while distinct, share a surprising number of parallels. We are honoured to be recognised in such a highly respected magazine.
In “Adaptability, Leadership, Kindness Critical for Bizav: Martyn Fiddler”, Batey explores how Martyn Fiddler is helping the business aviation sector traverse a year of unprecedented complexity. From shifting political landscapes and environmental protests to supply chain disruptions and talent shortages, 2025 has tested the industry’s agility like never before.
Heather Gordon, our Legal Director and lead author of our “2025 State of Business Aviation eBook”, shares how adaptive strategy and ethical leadership are essential for long-term resilience. Drawing on cultural references from Bruce Lee to Buckminster Fuller, the report challenges conventional thinking and encourages companies to evolve rather than react.
“You have a plan. You’ve got the destination in mind. But other things are going to happen without any notice, and you have to deal with them en route,” Gordon explains. It’s this philosophy that positions Martyn Fiddler as a guiding force in the sector.
In his second feature, “Business Aviation and Yachts Share Synergies and Risks,” Batey dives into the growing convergence between business aviation and the yachting industry. From shared clientele and sustainability goals to overlapping design and regulatory challenges, the article highlights how collaboration across these luxury sectors can unlock new value.
The piece draws on insights from the Isle of Man Aviation Conference (IOMAC), where industry leaders, including Martyn Fiddler staff, discussed how HNWIs increasingly expect seamless, integrated services across air, sea, and even rotorcraft. Companies like F/List, which designs interiors for both jets and superyachts, exemplify this cross-sector innovation.
Heather Gordon offers a nuanced perspective on the reputational risks and regulatory complexities of aligning with yachting.
Martyn Fiddler’s inclusion in these features is more than a media milestone – it’s a testament to our role as a strategic partner in business aviation. We’re proud to contribute to conversations that matter and invite you to explore both articles to gain deeper insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping our industry. Aviation Week Network has kindly lifted the paywall for this article until early November.
