At Virgin Atlantic, Jon works across the organisation to help shape a culture where every voice is heard, every experience is valued and inclusion is reflected not only in how people work, but in how customers experience the brand. His role spans LGBTQIA+ inclusion, disability, women in aviation, ethnicity, wellbeing and wider belonging, with a focus on turning lived experience into meaningful and lasting change.

Jon is passionate about moving inclusion beyond statements and policies. His work brings together colleagues, leaders, customers, partners and communities to remove barriers, challenge assumptions and ensure people from all backgrounds have a genuine voice in the decisions that affect them.

He was named Outstanding Network Lead of the Year at the Rainbow Honours 2025 and featured in the 2026 Attitude 101, empowered by Bentley, which celebrates 101 outstanding trailblazers whose work has contributed to the global LGBTQ+ community in a game-changing way. Jon was also included in the prestigious Pride Power List, created by Diversity Umbrella in association with Stonewall and published in The Guardian. The list is regarded as a definitive guide to LGBTQIA+ people and allies working towards true equality and inclusion.  At the heart of Jon’s work is a simple but powerful belief: when people feel seen, heard and valued, they do not just belong - they thrive".

In this episode you will take a deep dive into what Aviation Security is all about and hear from an established Global Expert in this topic - Andrew McGowan from Delta Airlines.

Andrew joined the Royal Air Force straight from college as a (very young) Policeman and went on to serve for 22 years in various roles including general Policing, Nuclear Weapon Security, Aviation Security, and VIP Security.  He completed operational tours, in Afghanistan as part of the NATO ISAF Military Police force in Kabul, and later in Iraq on the UK’s Operation Herrick deployment.  His last 8 years in the RAF saw him posted to Number 32 (The Royal) Squadron where he had responsibility for the security planning and execution of RAF flights carrying the UK’s Royal Family members and UK Government ministers including the PM.

In 2012, his RAF days came to an end and he formally retrained in Aviation Security Management, going on to work for Thomson Airways (now TUI Airlines) as the Airline Security Manager.  Since 2017 Andrew has been serving as a Regional Corporate Security Manager for Delta Airlines, covering Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.  In this role, Andrew helps protect the airline’s customers, staff, and assets from any unlawful acts and security risks across the region, working closely with Airport Security departments, various Governmental Security organisations, Law Enforcement agencies, and equivalent teams in other Airlines.

In his spare time, Andrew is a British Swimming Technical Official, and his highlight (so far) has been officiating at the Swim England National Finals at Sheffield in 2025.
