DC Aviation Al-Futtaim (DCAF), part of the DC Aviation Group, has expanded its aircraft management fleet with the addition of a Challenger 604 aircraft. The aircraft will be based at the DCAF facilities at Dubai World Central.

The management contract will see DCAF provide a comprehensive service package including aircraft maintenance.

Holger Ostheimer, general manager, DC Aviation Al-Futtaim said, “We very much appreciate the addition of the Challenger 604 to our managed fleet. The addition follows growing interest from clients seeking our expertise to manage their aircraft both commercially as well as under private operation. This management contract is also further evidence of our expertise and capability to deliver the highest possible quality standards for safety and service to our vip clients.”

DC Aviation Group´s business is very much diversified in its depth of services. “Our experience includes executive jet charter services, FBO services, repair and maintenance services, and of course aircraft management services”, states Michael Kuhn, ceo of DC Aviation Group. “Our current portfolio supports the dynamic growth strategy of DC Aviation in both Western and Eastern Europe as well as in the Middle East.”, he added.

At its headquarters in Dubai World Central, the DCAF facility offers exclusive lounge area that caters to the discerning needs of vvip customers offering the highest levels of comfort, luxury and privacy exemplified through shower areas, a conference room, covered parking and an exclusive contemporary finish. Customers benefit from a dedicated ramp parking area spanning over 7,700 square metres, on-site security processing facilities, the shortest distance between limousine drop-off and the aircraft steps and flexibility by having no operational restrictions therefore flying when needed.

The DCAF hangar has enough space to accommodate four Airbus Corporate Jet or Boeing Business Jet type aircraft of the heavy business jet category as well as two ultra-long range business jets such as the Falcon 7X, Bombardier Global Express or Gulfstream G550.

DCAF is a joint venture between Dubai-headquartered Al-Futtaim and Germany’s DC Aviation, one of the leading European business jet operators.
