Netherlands-based Exxaero has established a German branch now that the Luftfahrt Bundesamt (LBA) has granted the company an AOC to operate aircraft from Weeze airport, just over the border. Exxaero is starting operations at the German airport with a six-seater Beechcraft Premier 1, for flights within Europe. Ground handling at Weeze is carried out by subsidiary Solid Handling.

Exxaero has been active for many years in the private jet sector in the Netherlands, where it also uses Weeze airport infrastructure for take-off and landing. “Because we have an increasing number of German customers, and fly a lot from Weeze, we have expanded our airline to Germany,” explains Exxaero Germany CEO Roderick Buijs. “For German customers, handling is now even easier if they book their flights at our German branch and fly on a German-registered aircraft.

“We will quickly expand the offering at Weeze because the demand for private flights is high in Germany. Within a year we will station four more aircraft there, but for now we have five office employees and four pilots for our first Weeze-based aircraft.”

Exxaero is based at Eindhoven and now Weeze airports and specialises in private charter flights, aircraft management and the purchase and sale of private jets. Its fleet comprises Dassault Falcon 900B, Falcon 900C, Falcon 900EX, Falcon 2000, Cessna Citation Sovereign and Hawker Beechcraft Premier 1A types.
