Simon Watson, the visionary Founder and CEO of Aerios, has combined his lifelong love for aviation with a knack for software innovation to revolutionize the air cargo industry.
A physics graduate with over 5,000 hours of flight experience, his early career in aviation saw him flying the A320 series aircraft, while his interest in technology led to experimenting with software development during university – Aerios is the culmination of Simon’s expertise in these two fields.
For Simon, Aerios is the realization of a lifelong dream to merge two distinct passions—aviation and technology. Reflecting on his journey, he recalls: “My passion for aviation began in childhood, and I was fortunate to make it a reality as a commercial pilot. But during university, I also fell in love with coding. Starting Aerios felt like a natural evolution, combining these interests to create something impactful.”
