Robin Tiburtius, Managing Director of Altavia GmbH
"Business aviation has been my world for over a decade. What started as a deep fascination with the industry became a career built on one principle: getting every detail right.

When we founded Altavia, the goal was simple — to build a charter service we'd want to use ourselves. A team that picks up the phone at any hour. Advisors who know the difference between the right aircraft and the cheapest one. People who care whether your flight was flawless, not just whether it departed on time.

Behind Altavia is a team of experienced aviation professionals backed by 25 years of flight operations through the Air Independence Group. We don't just broker flights — we manage the entire journey.If you're looking for a partner, not just a provider, we'd be glad to hear from you."

Managing Director, Altavia GmbH

1999

The Foundation

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.

2014

Expanding the Horizon

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.

2026

The Altavia Era

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

Backed by an Active Fleet.

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

Platform Independent

We aren’t limited by one tail number. We find the right aircraft for your specific mission.

Safety without Compromise

We apply the same rigorous AOC standards to every third-party aircraft we charter as we do to our own fleet.

Human Intelligence

In an era of automated booking, we provide dedicated flight managers who oversee every detail, from permits to catering.
