Lead Captain, Solairus Aviation
Connect on LinkedInAndrew Sutton-Pado, CAM, is the first of his family to take an interest in flying, so his journey to business aviation was winding. After pursuing his pilot’s license alongside degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering, he seized a chance to sit in the right seat of a Cessna Conquest and never looked back. His recent shift into a managing position has brought the fulfillment of creating a supportive team and generating positive change in his department.
“Many of my career moves were found at the intersection of preparedness and opportunity,” says Sutton-Pado, “but ultimately it was the people who took me under their wing or took a chance on me that have allowed me to discover my potential. Every step I take deeper into this industry has unlocked exciting challenges that keep me engaged and fulfilled.”
