Aero-Dienst Vienna Station Marks 20 Years of MRO Support

Aero-Dienst is marking the 20th anniversary of its aircraft maintenance line station in Vienna this week. The Europe-based business aviation services group established the facility in 2006 as part of a network that also includes two other bases in Austria, as well as a Munich-area maintenance center and component shop in Landsberg am Lech, plus its recently-opened Aero-Dienst America subsidiary in Florida.

Initially, the Vienna facility focused on providing line maintenance for Learjet operators. It has since expanded its capabilities to support all Bombardier business jets, including Challenger and Global models.

In 2017, Dassault Aviation appointed the Vienna line station as an authorized service center for its Falcon aircraft. In mid-2024, Aero-Dienst added Embraer’s Phenom 300 jets to its support portfolio.

Two years ago, Aero-Dienst expanded the site at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) to 16,000 square feet. It now employs 11 people there, including 6 licensed technicians, and supports up to 500 service and maintenance events each year.

“Many regular customers make a point of using their scheduled stops in Vienna for maintenance work,” said Aero-Dienst station manager Christian Weigl. “The appeal of Vienna Airport, a major business aviation hub, along with our central location, which offers easy access to many neighboring airports such as Graz, Salzburg, Prague, Budapest, and Zagreb for AOG cases, has played a key role here.”
