FAI Looks to Expand Managed Fleet Through Acquisitions
FAI is one of the world’s biggest operators of medium/long-range air ambulance flights and also is expanding in aircraft management and charter.
Based at Nuremburg’s Albrecht Durer Airport, charter-management firm FAI Aviation Group places one of its focuses on the issue of diminishing residual value of preowned aircraft. FAI blames OEMs for not producing enough new aircraft when the market was strong.

German charter and air-ambulance operator FAI Aviation Group (Booth F70, with Avinode) continues to add aircraft to its fleet. FAI also says it wants to acquire one or two “no-asset” aircraft management companies to allow it to offer “turnkey packages” to owners. It has also completed a new hangar which will further expand its capabilities in MRO and provide more space for aircraft storage. Since 2011, FAI has established an impressive base at the Nuremberg’s Albrecht Dürer Airport, where it was founded by chairman Siegfried Axtmann.
