CJI Podcast: #44 | Kerstin Mumenthaler | Axis Aviation AG | "It is not a cheap hobby to have an own aircraft"

Kerstin Mumenthaler, CEO of Axis Aviation, joins us to explain why her company sees itself as an asset manager, not just an operator.She breaks down Axis's multi-AOC setup across Switzerland, Austria, San Marino and South Africa, why a proprietary governance platform — not flying — is the real product, and the strategy behind the upcoming US expansion. Kerstin also discusses the AXAero group's full pilot-to-owner ecosystem, why radical billing transparency is changing how owners trust their operators, and the career path that took her from airline pilot to crisis management consultant to running a fast-growing fleet of 50+ aircraft.
