Aero-Dienst, headquartered in Nuremberg, Germany, has established a US subsidiary, Aero-Dienst America, on the occasion of NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas, Nevada. Located in Palm Beach, Florida, the new entity marks a significant milestone in the company's international growth strategy.
As a full-service provider for business aviation and air ambulance services, Aero-Dienst is expanding its international presence to enhance service quality, customer proximity and response times. The initial priority is to ensure a reliable supply of spare parts. As the first company from the German-speaking region of Europe to enter the North American parts distribution market, Aero-Dienst anticipates excellent access to the world's largest business aviation parts market.
The goal is to source spare parts more quickly and under better commercial conditions, thereby sustainably improving supply reliability and cost efficiency. Optimised parts availability will benefit both the customer aircraft fleet operated in Europe and Aero-Dienst's own fleet of air ambulance jets, which has been conducting global medical repatriation flights on behalf of its parent company ADAC (the General German Automobile Club) for nearly 30 years.
Beyond spare parts, Aero-Dienst America will gradually expand its portfolio. Future services include support for aircraft arbitrage, guiding customers through the process from disassembly of valuable components to repair, recertification and resale, as well as comprehensive aviation consulting. This includes pre-purchase inspections and production supervision at OEM facilities across North America. As technical representative, Aero-Dienst America accompanies the entire aircraft build process on-site to ensure precise execution in line with customers' specifications and expected quality standards.
“With Aero-Dienst America we are opening access to urgently needed aircraft parts in a severely underserved market, while also offering comprehensive consulting services for existing and new customers looking to position themselves strategically within the aviation value chain,” says Mathias Moessner, CEO of Aero-Dienst America.
Starting in mid-2026, the service portfolio will be expanded to include aircraft detailing, the professional cleaning and care of business jets, ranging from hygienic cleaning and interior/exterior detailing to full-service aircraft washing, addressing both aesthetic and functional aspects. Aero-Dienst America adheres to the highest possible standards to meet each customer's individual expectations.
“Establishing our US subsidiary underscores Aero-Dienst's commitment to providing outstanding quality and excellent service in the aviation industry,” says Andre Ebach, CEO of Aero-Dienst in Germany. “We look forward to contributing our expertise to this dynamic market and further reinforcing our role as a trusted partner in aviation.”
In addition to its headquarters in Nuremberg, Aero-Dienst also operates stations at Vienna and Klagenfurt in Austria and a maintenance station in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich that was set up four years ago. Its component shop in Landsberg am Lech allows Aero-Dienst to provide fast and local repairs for maintenance operators in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
