DC Aviation Group

What DC Aviation Group does

DC Aviation Group is a privately held German business aviation services company headquartered at Stuttgart Airport, founded around 1999 and operating across seven wholly-owned subsidiaries in Stuttgart, Munich, Dubai, Malta, Nice, San Marino, and Aruba. The company delivers an integrated 360° service portfolio covering aircraft management, aircraft maintenance (EASA Part-145 at Stuttgart, Munich, and Dubai), executive charter using a fleet of owned and managed jets (including a Gulfstream G650ER, G280, Dassault Falcon 2000LXS, and Cessna Citation XLS+), FBO and ground handling, and aviation consulting.

Its operational backbone consists of certified maintenance facilities (over 11,000 m² of heated hangar between Stuttgart and Munich), an Operations Control Centre providing 24/7/365 flight monitoring, and a multi-jurisdictional regulatory footprint that includes IS-BAO Stage 3, IS-BAH Stage 2, EASA Part-145, EASA Part NCC (Aruba P4 registration), and a San Marino AOC for T7 commercial operations. Revenue is generated through recurring aircraft management fees (subscription-style), per-flight charter pricing, maintenance work orders, FBO/handling charges, and consulting engagements, sold via direct enterprise sales and 24/7 consultation rather than third-party distribution.

The company serves private aircraft owners seeking outsourced operational management, corporate flight departments, and high-net-worth/business travelers requiring charter access. Its ownership remains with founders and management, and the business is led by Managing Directors Marc Ambrosius and Svenja Wortmann.
