Jacqui Johnson has been appointed Aviation Partner at +impact, Serco’s advisory business, strengthening its aviation leadership and expertise on a global level.
With over 38 years in aviation, Jacqui brings a wealth of experience spanning airport operations, consultancy, and executive leadership. Her career began with a work placement at Southampton Airport during her Business Studies degree, where she developed a passion for aviation that has shaped her entire professional journey. She went on to complete an MSc in Airport Planning at Loughborough University before spending 12 years with BAA in the UK.

Joining +impact, Jacqui will initially focus on the UK aviation sector, where she will leverage the consultancy’s global experience delivering guest experience solutions for major international airports, such as Dubai Airports, and extending that expertise into areas including operational management, air traffic control, emergency services, resilience and solution delivery. She emphasises that supporting client strategic growth will be at the centre of her work with her airport clients.
Jacqui Johnson, Aviation Partner at +impact, said: “I’m excited to join +impact at this stage of its growth. There’s a real opportunity to build something new with like-minded, driven people, and to respond to what I know global aviation clients have been asking for: support to sustainably grow whilst elevating the passenger experience.”
