MHS Aviation adds new aircraft to fleet

Having been in business aviation for 34 years MHS Aviation, the Munich based operator, is launching its new portfolio of aircraft at EBACE 2012.

Previously, during the last 34 years, MHS Aviation has been best known as an operator of vip helicopters. However MHS Aviation recently acquired two Dornier 328 -100 aircraft to add to the five Learjets the company has been operating for some years now. The new 32-seater Dornier 328 -100s are available for vip charter as well as ACMI lease. All the pilots, flight attendants and ground staff, including the director of flight operations and director of training, have been sourced from an IOSA-certified airline and charter operator. This means that MHS Aviation immediately starts with a lot of experience in operating this type of aircraft.

The move to bring the Dornier 328 into the MHS Aviation fleet of has been prompted by the demand for aircraft to handle larger groups of passengers, a factor which has become particularly noticeable in recent times. This means that MHS Aviation can apply its outstanding customer service not only to CEOs and directors at very cost effective rates but also to their employees for European business travel.

Speaking about the new Dornier aircraft and the incorporation of fixed wing aircraft up to 32 seats into the MHS Aviation fleet Frank Steitz, Director of Charter Sales said "We see this as a very positive move forward. It means that we can serve a broader clientele and even airlines for AOG support. For the last 12 months we have seen an increase in the demand for group travel of up to 30 passengers. Therefore it was a logical progression to add the Dornier 328s to our fleet. By being able to bring in crew and ground staff from an airline it means the transition to operate these aircraft has been very smooth and exceeded all our expectations."
