MEBAA: DC Aviation Al-Futtaim increases its capabilities

Holger Ostheimer, managing director, said: “After a such a long absence due to Covid, we look forward to people coming back to Dubai, attending the show, and visiting us here at our facilities to see what’s changed and how things have developed. 

“We are providing a shuttle service from the show to demonstrate our capabilities in passenger and ground handling services. We want delegates to visit our lounges and meet with our aircraft management and maintenance experts.

“We have increased the management fleet and restructured our maintenance organisation, increasing our capabilities in the wheel shop and battery shop. We have been busy across all areas, from hangar utilisation to aircraft chartering. There is a lot to talk about,” he added.  

The growing fleet includes a unique aircraft in the Middle East – a PC-12. The single-engine turboprop can seat up to six guests and is perfectly suited for short-haul jaunts of up to two hours. 

Ostheimer said: “We have made this aircraft available with the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in mind. It is ideal for smaller groups, or those who may not be in a position to charter a larger business jet, such as our Challenger 604 or 350. It is available at a very appealing price.” 

Today, Ostheimer will also provide insights on new business models and strategies in business aviation at the first ever BizAv Talk conference.
