Since April 2001 Air Hamburg is a complete contractor in the aviation department, located in Hamburg.
The medium-size company employs 54 members of staff and owns a fleet of all together 25 aircraft. The company unites the following four Businesses:
With their own fleet, consisting of twin-engined machines of the type Britten-Norman Islander and brand new Cessna 172 SP, AIR HAMBURG daily navigates in a scheduled air service, the North Sea islands from their base airport in Hamburg-Uetersen or alternatively the airport Fuhlsbüttel.
With the Air Hamburg Private Jets you can reach European or intercontinental destinations. The modern Citation Jets are maintained in strict compliance with EU regulations. The Citation fleet contains the models: Citation 525, Citation Bravo and the flagship Citation XLS+. With the major jet you reach a location within a range of 2500 mi (non-stop) and a maximum speed of 500 mph.
AIR HAMBURG operates the Café Himmelsschreiber (skywriter) next to the general aviation centre (GAT) at the airport Fuhlsbuettel. With this location, the company can offer their aircraft passengers the comfort of an exclusive lounge before takeoff.
The Flight School Hamburg - one of the largest flight schools of the country - guarantees a qualified, solid training within the guidelines of JAR-FCL. The Flight School is one of the LBA accepted FTO (flight training organisation), which trains not only private- also professional and traffic pilots.
The following licenses can be acquired: PPL (A), IR (A), CPL (A) and ATPL (A). The pilot training takes place on 365 days a year. Approximately 100 flying students acquire their flight licence in the Flight School Hamburg annually.
Originally the two young entrepreneurs Floris Helmers and Alexander Lipsky conducted the Flight School Hamburg and enlarged it in the last years. Frequently the two were asked more often not only for flying hours, but for sightseeing and taxi flights to the North and East Frisian Islands. Because of that the company was extended with the name AIR HAMBURG with single and twin-engined aircrafts for sightseeing- and island flights in 2005.
The island flight plan was extended already: Besides Sylt, the destinations reached out to Helgoland, Juist and Norderney.
There were more and more charter inquiries to destinations, which could not be offered with the fleet for the island air traffic due to the limited range. The result of this development was the logical step for the establishment of the brand AIR HAMBURG Private Jets with comfortable business jets, which are positioned at the airport Hamburg.
Directly next to the general aviation centre (GAT) at the airport Hamburg, AIR HAMBURG conducts the Café HIMMELSSCHREIBER. This was mainly created to offer an exclusive lounge for the jet customers before takeoff. In addition to that, the Café HIMMELSSCHREIBER serves the private jet customers with an exquisite catering.
Air Hamburg offers many business charter flights on demand across Europe. The charter base is Uetersen Airport.
