Increasing the area to around 16,145 sq. ft. is the result of the growth strategy that Aero-Dienst has been pursuing for a number of years now.
Aero-Dienst has responded to increasing demand for large aircraft maintenance services by increasing its hangar capacity, while at the same time offering its maintenance customers access to the modern infrastructure of Vienna Airport FBO, which recently celebrated the reopening of its freshly renovated VIP lounge.
Aero-Dienst has been providing maintenance services for business aviation at Vienna Airport longer than any other company located there. As Christian Weigl, Aero-Dienst's Station Manager in Vienna, puts it: "Our nearly 18 years of good partnership with Vienna Airport are very important to us.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."
The highly competent 10-member Vienna Aero-Dienst team of technicians, inspectors, logistics and work preparation specialists 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 Authorized Service Center. 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 fulfill our pledge to consistently focus on our customers' needs and expand our range of maintenance services to include other aircraft types," says Christian Weigl, adding proudly:"We're looking forward to this and are aiming to announce it at the European Business Aviation Convention andamp; Exhibition (EBACE) that will take place May 28-30, 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland."
In addition to its headquarters in Nuremberg, Aero-Dienst also operates stations in Austria (Vienna, Klagenfurt and Graz) and a maintenance station near Munich in Oberpfaffenhofen. The component shop in Landsberg am Lech allows Aero-Dienst to provide fast and local repairs for maintenance operators in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
