Hong Kong-based charter consultancy Apertus Aviation and its sister membership-based company Nineteen O3 Aviation (1903 Aviation) are joining forces with European operator Air Hamburg to meet the growing demand for private jet travel from clients across Asia.

Air Hamburg, headquartered in Germany, has a fleet of 29 aircraft that includes a Dassault Falcon 7X, Embraer Legacy 650 and 600 and Cessna aircraft. With this partnership, 1903 Aviation members and Apertus charter clients gain access to Air Hamburg's fleet and its team of flight operations staff in Europe.

Apertus Aviation regional representative (Europe) Tristan Yeung says: “We are committed to delivering a consistent service from booking to landing for every flight, for every 1903 Elite member and Apertus charter client. This is why we constantly look for and thoroughly research operators around the world. It is important to deliver a structured service to 1903 members, while having the flexibility to quickly deliver the high standard provision that Apertus clients expect.”

Apertus and Nineteen O3 Aviation managing director Ringo Fan adds: “We share a similar vision with Air Hamburg, and these synergies will benefit our clients traveling globally. Air Hamburg's fleet is sizeable and varied, and it offers high-level customer service thanks to its experienced team; these factors give us the confidence to work with it as one of our preferred operators. We have manpower across multiple time zones, delivering local knowledge with a global reach. We will continue to select premium operators in different regions for both our 1903 members and Apertus charter clients, so they can benefit from aircraft availability and the finest cabin services from operations staff that make safety the highest priority. We look forward to working closely with Air Hamburg.”

Air Hamburg vice president sales David Bergold concludes: “The international demand for charter services is continuing to rise, and our growing fleet and team are ready to meet this demand. Our cooperation with 1903 Aviation and Apertus gives us the opportunity to showcase our high-quality aircraft and finest cabin service to clients in Asia traveling around the globe.”
