Airbus director, perhaps one introduced to transport conspiracy (9)
I believe the answer is:
autopilot
'airbus director' is the definition.
(an autopilot directs an aircraft)
'one introduced to transport conspiracy' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'introduced to' indicates putting letters inside.
'transport' becomes 'auto' (auto is a kind of transport).
'conspiracy' becomes 'plot' (I've seen this in other clues).
'auto'+'plot'='autoplot'
'i' placed within 'autoplot' is 'AUTOPILOT'.
'perhaps' is the link.
(Other definitions for autopilot that I've seen before include "Plane on ...... is under automatic control" , "George (sl.)" , "Action without self-awareness" , "Aircraft system allowing crew to rest" , "It can fly plane" .)
