Edwin Brenninkmeyer • Oriens Aviation • Founder & CEO

In this episode of What The Luxe, host Fred Moore sits down with Edwin Brenninkmeyer, Founder and CEO of Oriens Aviation, to unpack the mechanics, mindset, and meaning behind modern private aviation.

A commercial and private pilot with more than two decades of experience, Edwin brings the precision of a pilot and the perspective of an entrepreneur to a conversation about what true craftsmanship means in an industry often mistaken for theatre. He shares the founding story of Oriens Aviation, its partnerships with Pilatus, Tecnam, and Cirrus, and how integrity and long-term value creation sit at the heart of his leadership philosophy.

From sustainability and electric flight to the psychology of service and operational excellence, this is an inside look at how purpose, precision, and trust elevate the business of flight.
