Dedalus Aviation Services

What Dedalus Aviation Services does

Dedalus Aviation Services is a privately held, founder-led aircraft maintenance organisation headquartered in Thessaloniki, Greece, operating under EASA Part-145 (maintenance) and Part-CAMO (continuing airworthiness management) approvals. Founded by Antonios Ziakas around 1990, the company has served the aviation industry for more than three decades and currently operates a network of 14 line maintenance stations across seven countries — Greece, Turkey, India, Nepal, the Netherlands, Cyprus, and Belgium — supplemented by a fleet of three AOG (Aircraft on Ground) Mobile Units capable of rapid deployment for emergency maintenance. Its service portfolio spans heavy and light aircraft maintenance, AOG response, on-site mobile maintenance, spare parts procurement (rotables, consumables, tooling), authorised service centre work for Diamond Aircraft, Aquila, Rotax, Continental Diesel, and Austro Engines, plus airworthiness reviews and consultancy through a dedicated CAMO subsidiary (dedaluscamo.aero).

The company's technical foundation is its regulatory credentialing: it holds Part-145 approvals from EASA (via HCAA), the UK CAA, the Bailiwick of Guernsey, the Cayman Islands, and Sri Lanka, supported by FAA A&P licensed mechanics, enabling cross-jurisdictional service delivery. Differentiated capabilities include strategic proximity to a Shannon office enabling one-hour customs clearance for components, and a deployed workforce model where licensed and unlicensed maintenance staff, plus administrative and management personnel, are provisioned to customer locations worldwide for short and longer-term appointments.

Revenue is generated through four streams: aircraft maintenance services (scheduled and unscheduled work, line and base maintenance, billed as professional services), AOG support with urgent response fees, spare parts and rotables supply (hardware sales), and CAMO airworthiness management contracts. The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales to airlines, flight schools, air clubs, and private aircraft operators, with no public pricing disclosure and a quote-based commercial model. Ownership remains with the founder, with no institutional investors, parent company, or M&A activity recorded.
