CD Aircraft Maintenance GmbH

What CD Aircraft Maintenance GmbH does

CD Aircraft Maintenance GmbH is a privately held, EASA-certified aircraft maintenance organization founded in 1991 and headquartered at Flugplatz Schönhagen (EDAZ) near Trebbin, Germany, close to Berlin. The company operates a small workshop of approximately 6 employees that delivers maintenance, inspection, repair, and modification services for small piston-engine aircraft up to 5.7 tonnes, with a primary focus on Cirrus SR20, SR22, and SR22T aircraft as a Certified Cirrus Service Center. It also services Cessna, Piper, Robin, and Beech models and holds EASA Part-145 approval (DE145.0139), CAMO+ approval (DE.CAMO.0012), and FAA-certified inspectors, enabling work on both D-registered European and N-registered US aircraft.

The firm's revenue is generated through four primary streams: project-based maintenance, inspection and repair work; recurring CAMO+ continuing airworthiness management subscriptions; avionics testing, upgrades, and repairs delivered by B2/C-certified specialists using modern test and measurement equipment plus loaner devices; and parts and equipment sales as an authorized dealer for Cirrus, Avidyne, Beringer, TRIG, and Becker. Add-on services — composite and paint repair, climate and oxygen service, NANO sealing, re-registration, and shuttle/pickup delivery — increase wallet share per aircraft owner. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Go-to-market is direct-to-customer at the physical Schönhagen airfield location, supplemented by word-of-mouth, an established 30-plus-year reputation in the Berlin/Brandenburg GA community, and inbound inquiries via the company website, email, and phone. The customer base consists of a long tail of individual private aircraft owners across Germany and Europe, with no disclosed enterprise anchor contracts. The company is led by Managing Director Jan-Peter Fischer and shows no evidence of external investors, M&A activity, or subsidiary structure.

• StandardAero: Major global MRO provider offering engine, airframe, avionics, and component services across business aviation, commercial, and military — broad incumbent operating in adjacent aviation MRO segments.
• Fokker Services Group: Larger Netherlands-based aviation MRO specializing in regional, business, and military aircraft maintenance, repair, and component support — a broad European incumbent with overlapping MRO and CAMO capabilities.
• Lufthansa Technik AG: Global aviation MRO incumbent providing line, base, and component maintenance, plus engine services and CAMO across commercial, business, and specialized aviation — sets the broader industry standard CD competes within.

Regional players
