Luxaviation UK chief pilot Glyn Anderson is retiring from flying commercial flights, including his royal duties, after a distinguished 25 years of service.

Anderson has been at Luxaviation UK since the company's inception in 1996 and, among other duties, has been responsible for supporting members of the Royal Family on official engagements. On 27 April, 2022 he completed his final flight for the Royal Household, after which he received royal recognition for his extended service.

He says: “I'm honoured to have supported the duties of the Royal Household for the past 25 years, and I was thrilled to receive a signed photo and plaque in recognition. In retiring from my commercial flight duties, it will allow me time to focus on my other responsibilities at Luxaviation UK as chief pilot and fleet manager.”

Luxaviation Group CEO and head of charter sales, Europe George Galanopoulos adds: “Glyn has been integral to our Royal Household operations at Luxaviation UK, and now he will hand those reins over to other crew members. Understanding clients' needs and expectations is an essential part of private charter. Glyn's valued service reflects the nature of our principles at Luxaviation, ensuring the highest standard of quality control while maintaining the most stringent confidentiality and privacy for our flyers, no matter how high profile they may be.”
