Employee Spotlight: Hannah Bowron

At SOLJETS, we’re lucky to have a team member like Hannah Bowron, whose passion for aviation and dedication to her role shine through in everything she does. From her adventurous spirit to her professional expertise, Hannah is a standout contributor to our team. When she’s not working with SOLJETS, she enjoys spending her free time in the mountains of Grand Lake, CO, with her husband and pup. Whether it’s skiing, boating, or hiking, depending on the season, Hannah loves soaking up everything the mountains have to offer.

Hannah has already traveled quite a bit, but an African safari is still at the top of her bucket list. She’s drawn to the idea of being immersed in nature and experiencing wildlife up close in their natural habitat, which she believes would be an unforgettable adventure. On a more personal note, Hannah has recently taken up a hobby that might surprise some – sewing and embroidering. Despite joking that it makes her sound like a 70-year-old woman, she loves being able to create personalized items without having to buy them.

When it comes to her favorite aviation-related movie, it’s no surprise that Hannah’s go-to pick is Top Gun.  

Hannah’s passion for aviation stems from growing up around the industry, with her mom working at an FBO chain since she was 10 years old. While she never imagined a career in aviation back then, she can’t imagine doing anything else now.  Hannah’s favorite aviation memory is the experience she had at an air show in Grand Junction a few years ago. After a few days of weather delays, she and her husband found themselves in the Thunderbird hangar taking photos with the jets and crew, and then witnessed them perform the next day.

When asked about what makes private aviation such a unique and valuable industry, Hannah sums it up perfectly: "It gives people the freedom to take control of their time. Instead of being at the mercy of airline schedules, private aviation allows you to travel on your terms, maximizing efficiency and giving you more time to focus on what truly matters."

At SOLJETS, Hannah loves how her role is constantly evolving and changing, keeping things fun and exciting. She enjoys interacting with clients daily, helping them navigate the big decision of buying or selling a jet. She notes that one of the aspects of working in aviation sales and acquisitions that people might not realize is the level of expertise required. While some industries allow for a little faking it, aviation requires a deep knowledge to ensure smooth transactions. For Hannah, success at SOLJETS comes down to being involved in a process that brings clients joy and simplifies their lives. Each time she helps a client take delivery of their dream jet, it’s a standout moment for her.

If she could give advice to someone looking to break into the aviation industry, it would be to actively participate in pilot training. The knowledge she gained while working toward her license has been incredibly valuable in her career.
