Managing Director, Altavia GmbH
Air Independence is founded. Built on the principles of German engineering and operational discipline, we began managing and operating a high-performance fleet with a focus on reliability and safety.
To provide our clients with the "perfect flight" beyond our own fleet’s reach, we launched AI Services. This allowed us to remain platform-independent, sourcing the ideal aircraft for any mission, anywhere in the world, while maintaining our strict operator standards.
AI Services rebrands to Altavia. More than just a broker, Altavia represents the peak of journey integration—combining 25 years of flight data, an elite managed fleet, and a global logistics network into one seamless interface.
Operational Strength
Unlike traditional brokers, our DNA is operational. Altavia is powered by the expertise of Air Independence, which currently operates a diverse fleet of 10 high-performance aircraft.
The Fleet Profile: Our managed fleet includes the versatile Pilatus PC-12 and PC-24, alongside long-range Bombardier Challenger and Global Express jets.
The Advantage: This "Operator-First" mindset means we understand the technicalities of maintenance, crew logic, and ramp operations better than anyone else in the market.
Our Philosophy
We aren’t limited by one tail number. We find the right aircraft for your specific mission.
We apply the same rigorous AOC standards to every third-party aircraft we charter as we do to our own fleet.
In an era of automated booking, we provide dedicated flight managers who oversee every detail, from permits to catering.
