Aero-Dienst will inaugurate an expansion of hangar space at its maintenance line station in Vienna, Austria, on 1 April 2024. The hangar area has been increased to around 16,145ft².
Aero-Dienst is a full-service provider of business aviation and air ambulance services, headquartered in Nuremberg, Germany. It also operates three stations in Austria (Vienna, Klagenfurt and Graz); a maintenance station near Munich in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany; and a component shop in Landsberg am Lech, Germany.
Aero-Dienst said increasing its hangar capacity in Vienna was a response to increasing demand for large-aircraft maintenance services. The company also offers its maintenance customers access to the modern infrastructure of Vienna Airport FBO, which recently celebrated the reopening of its freshly renovated VIP lounge.
“Our nearly 18 years of good partnership with Vienna Airport are very important to us,” said Christian Weigl, Aero-Dienst’s station manager in Vienna. “We appreciate the FBO’s excellent service quality. Our regular Austrian and international customers who land in Vienna a lot use these stops to have us do maintenance work; they are also attracted by the high traffic and central location of Vienna Airport as a site for business aviation.”
Aero-Dienst has a 10-strong team of technicians, inspectors, logistics and work preparation specialists in Vienna. It serves the entire Bombardier product range, from the Learjet 45 to the Global 7500, as well as the Dassault 2000EX EASy and 900EX EASy Falcon jets as a Dassault authorised service centre. The team completes up to 500 maintenance events every year, and it includes five licensed technicians with multiple type ratings and more than 25 years of experience each.
“Before the end of this year we will fulfil our pledge to consistently focus on our customers’ needs and expand our range of maintenance services to include other aircraft types,” said Weigl. “We’re looking forward to this and are aiming to announce it at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) that will take place 28-30 May 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland.”
