Nuremberg, Germany-based MRO outfit Aero-Dienst plans to inaugurate an expansion of its hangar space at the Vienna maintenance line station on April 14. Increasing the area to 16,145 sq ft results from a growth strategy that Aero-Dienst has pursued for several years.
Aero-Dienst has responded to increasing demand for large aircraft maintenance services by increasing its hangar capacity while simultaneously offering its maintenance customers access to the Vienna Airport FBO, which recently celebrated the reopening of its newly renovated VIP lounge.
Aero-Dienst has provided maintenance services for business aviation at Vienna Airport longer than any other company located there, it said. “Our nearly 18 years of good partnership with Vienna Airport are very important to us,” explained Aero-Dienst Vienna station manager Christian Weigl. “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 10-member Vienna Aero-Dienst team of technicians, inspectors, and logistics and work preparation specialists serves the entire Bombardier product range, from the Learjet 45 to the Global 7500, as well as the Falcon 2000EX EASy and 900EX EASy as a Dassault-authorized service center. Its Vienna team completes up to 500 maintenance events every year and includes five licensed technicians with multiple 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,” noted 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 May 28 to 30, 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland.”
Along with its headquarters in Nuremberg, Aero-Dienst also operates stations in Austria (Vienna, Klagenfurt, and Graz) and a maintenance station near Munich in Oberpfaffenhofen.
