History
The scope of Swiss Aviation Group’s activities has since expanded into the preparation of Air Operator Certificates, the leasing and sales of jet transport aircraft, as well as restructuring and turn-around of airline companies, planning, development and restructuring of airports – technically as well as commercially.
Rapid growth of its African customer base lead to the establishment of SAT Swiss Aviation (Nig.) Ltd. in 2007 and the opening of the Abuja Office as Regional Headquarters for Africa. Additionally, SAT Swiss Aviation Colombia S.A.S. in Colombia and AeroSAT Swiss Aviation Co. in Turkey were formed in 2019 to enable us to better serve airline, aviation and aerospace clients in these regions.
The scope of the Group’s activities has since expanded into the preparation of Air Operator Certificates, managing of and consulting for airport projects, the charter, lease and sales of jet transport passenger and cargo aircraft, the development of Business Plans, preparation of Feasibility Studies as well as restructuring and turnaround of airline companies. The Group’s on and off-balance sheet turnover grew from USD$ 670,000.00 in 1996 to more than USD$ 500 Million to date.
Today, the company is in a position to conduct operational and financial audits of an airline for restructuring purposes, lease any type aircraft in any form (ACMI-, AMI-, Operating- or Finance Lease), provide temporary crew, provide crew training from ordinary check rides to type ratings or undertake mass airlifts on full charter basis for sporting events, religious pilgrimages (i.e. World Cup, Hajj etc.), or supply and assist in aviation project tenders, from anything like Fire- to Baggage & Cargo Screening Equipment, as well as providing consulting, agency, or representation services and project management for the airline or airport industry including but not limited to design, construction and aeronautical requirements.
