The ACA membership strengthens Primus Avia’s status
The move underlines a strategic focus on industry accreditation, enhancing trust, operational standards and engagement across global charter and aviation support services.
ACA Chairman Kevin Ducksbury and Primus Avia CEO Stephan Krainer.

The Air Charter Association (ACA) has welcomed Primus Avia as a member, positioning the Austrian company as a proactive industry leader in an increasingly complex regulatory environment, with a focus on prioritising the highest standards of safety and professionalism.

Primus Avia is an independent provider of aircraft technical management and CAMO services, along with charter operations, aircraft sales, engines and spare parts sourcing. The membership is intended to further integrate the company into the global charter community and reflects its commitment to the association’s Code of Professional Practice.

The decision to join the ACA was driven by a focus on strengthening trust and transparency in its services. Membership is widely regarded as an indicator of adherence to established professional and operational standards, supporting Primus Avia’s charter activity and broader technical services.

Charter operations form a significant part of Primus Avia’s service portfolio, and the ACA accreditation supports its handling of larger charter missions with a focus on compliance and operational standards. Membership is also expected to support the company’s involvement in global event-driven aviation, including preparations linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is expected to drive increased international transport requirements.

“We joined The Air Charter Association at this pivotal time to reinforce the trust our clients place in our charter operations and to ensure that technical standards remain uncompromising. This partnership will be instrumental as the focus is placed on large-scale global events, including the upcoming FIFA World Cup,” states Stephan Krainer, CEO of Primus Avia.
