Blackwing Advisory and The Aeris Agency Announce Partnership to Bring Pre-Trip Intelligence to Private Aviation Clients

May 5, 2026 Minneapolis, MN Blackwing Advisory — a division of Shadow Sciences Group LLC

Blackwing Advisory, a division of Shadow Sciences Group LLC, today announced a partnership with The Aeris Agency under which the Travel Risk Intelligence Profile (TRIP) will be made available to The Aeris Agency’s private aviation clients.

The Partnership

The Blackwing TRIP is an analyst-produced intelligence briefing prepared for a specific client and itinerary. Each engagement covers up to six travel intelligence domains, which may include destination conditions, ground transportation, accommodation security, traveler exposure considerations, communications protocols, and emergency preparedness. Engagements are conducted on a per-trip basis.

The Aeris Agency will make the TRIP available to its clients through their existing representative relationship. Blackwing Advisory will coordinate the intelligence engagement directly with each client from the point of introduction.

“The TRIP was designed to address the full scope of a trip — not just the flight itself. This partnership provides a direct channel to clients for whom that kind of preparation is relevant.”

Kia Hakimi, Managing Partner, Shadow Sciences Group LLC

“Booking the flight is the beginning of our responsibility, not the end of it. Making the TRIP available is simply an extension of how we think about our clients — completely, not transactionally.”

Nora Snelling, Founder & CEO, The Aeris Agency

Scope of Engagement

The TRIP is structured for use by executives, athletes, entertainers, and others whose travel involves considerations beyond standard logistics. Engagements are not limited to high-risk destinations. The briefing is applicable to international and domestic leisure travel, business itineraries, and multi-destination trips.

About the TRIP

The Travel Risk Intelligence Profile is an analyst-produced pre-trip intelligence briefing covering up to six domains: destination conditions, ground transportation, accommodation security, traveler exposure considerations, communications protocols, and emergency preparedness.
