High-flyer Ciara not star-struck

When wealthy and famous clients need a private plane or engagement ring, Ciara Egan has no problem sourcing them.John Daly reports

HIGH FLYING is a fair description of Ciara Egan’s career. As the vice president of Quintessentially Aviation, the Kildare native admits to spending as much time in the air as on the ground looking after a client list that includes rich and famous celebrities, from her base in Miami.

Specialising in private jet charter for top end clients, it’s turned out to be a 24/7 occupation leaving little time for a private life. “It’s been an incredible nine months,” Ciara explained on a flying visit home last week. “The business is going so well I’ve barely had enough time to get to the beach to top up the tan.”
