Asteria Advisory – One Year On!

This month marks the first anniversary of Asteria Advisory, and I wanted to share a moment of reflection and gratitude.

Around one year ago, I decided to build a practice that aligned fully with my work in marine and aviation law, superyachts, business jets, merchant shipping, and the emerging field of air and space law. Asteria became the vessel for that vision — flexible, independent, and grounded in clarity and connection. I officially relaunched on the 28th March 2025.

I have met some very interesting people through this year – during highly interesting events such as PIBS, EBACE, MYS , the Xjenza Malta Space Conference, IATA WLS and the Leiden University’s Earth-Space sustainability conference.

Over the past months, Asteria has grown steadily through the trust of clients, the support of colleagues, and the opportunities that come from working in an industry as dynamic as ours. My academic work and lecturing continue to strengthen the advisory services I provide, allowing Asteria to bring both practical and research-driven insight to complex cross-border matters.

To everyone who has collaborated with Asteria this year — thank you.
Your confidence and partnership have shaped the practice into what it is today.

As we move into the year ahead, I look forward to expanding Asteria’s work in marine and aviation operations, international registration, regulatory compliance, and space law developments, while continuing to build bridges between law, industry, and innovation.

Here’s to the next chapter.
And to navigating it together.

Asteria is attending 7th CAMS

Asteria is attending 7th CAMS Conference, being held in Malta and organised by Aeropodium.

CAMOs operate at the intersection of operational responsibility and legal accountability. While their goal is technical—ensuring ongoing airworthiness—their playing field is deeply shaped by an ever-evolving regulatory framework.

Dr Geraldine Spiteri is moderating the conference, which will deal with data issues, rethinking CAMO operations, director responsibilities and much more. She will be presenting on key challenges facing CAMO, focussing on regulatory challenges.

Watch this space for an update on the information shared during the conference.

We attended our first WIAM event for 2025!

The Women in Aviation Malta (WIAM) is a team of experienced aviation ladies operating in the Maltese aviation industry . The organisation was founded by Ms Ruth Sawers.

Every month, members gather at an event where they network, exchange ideas and of course, socialise. On Friday 21st March, we attended our first WIAM event for 2025, hosted by Boston Link. The theme focussed very much on career development in the aviation industry. Rozina from the Garage gave an insightful presentation and involved participants in some thought-proviking tasks. Yuliia from Link Talent also shard some top tips for career seekers and employees alike.

Dr Geraldine Spiteri discusses some ideas on career development in aviation

Attendees explored the pre-conceptions that might affect career choices or progress. The meeting also explored breaking barriers to reach new career heights.

The aviation industry has long been male-dominated, but recent initiatives are driving greater female participation, particularly in business aviation. Breaking these long-standing perceptions is essential for fostering growth and creating a more inclusive workforce.

Organizations like WIAM are leading the way, providing career insights and advocating for equal opportunities for women in aviation to thrive and advance in their careers.
