about us, Key Personnel
The Swiss Aviation Group AG was founded in Zug, Switzerland in 1996 together with highly experienced associates, such as former Airbus, Swissair, Jet Aviation and Lufthansa management staff. The company initially started as Management Holding and Aviation Consultancy. Since then the company has entered into numerous strategic partnerships with international airlines or other aviation related companies.

Group

The Group has over twenty five (25) years experience in international Airline Startups, Turn Around, and Airline and Airport Management Support. Over the past two decades the Swiss Aviation Group has been involved in numerous Aircraft operations, starting from formation of AOCs to the day to day management of the operations.

History

The scope of Swiss Aviation Group’s activities has since expanded into the preparation of Air Operator Certificates, the leasing and sales of jet transport aircraft, as well as restructuring and turn-around of airline companies, planning, development and restructuring of airports – technically as well as commercially.

Rapid growth of its customer base lead to the establishment of international branch companies.

The scope of the Group’s activities has since expanded into the preparation of Air Operator Certificates, managing of and consulting for airport projects, the charter, lease and sales of jet transport passenger and cargo aircraft, the development of Business Plans, preparation of Feasibility Studies as well as restructuring and turnaround of airline companies. The Group’s on and off-balance sheet turnover grew from USD$ 670,000.00 in 1996 to more than USD$ 500 Million to date.

Today, the company is in a position to conduct operational and financial audits of an airline for restructuring purposes, lease any type aircraft in any form (ACMI-, AMI-, Operating- or Finance Lease), provide temporary crew, provide crew training from ordinary check rides to type ratings, undertake mass airlifts on full charter basis for international sporting and pilgrimage events, or supply and assist in aviation project tenders, from anything like Fire- to Baggage & Cargo Screening Equipment, as well as providing consulting, agency, or representation services and project management for the airline or airport industry including but not limited to design, construction and aeronautical requirements.
