Holger Back, CEO: “The operating business will remain unchanged. Customers will not notice any major changes.

The sale and delivery of new aircraft will be handled by DG Aviation GmbH. For customers who have currently ordered an aircraft from DG Flugzeugbau GmbH or who decide to purchase a new aircraft from DG Aviation, all services can be guaranteed unchanged.

In the area of development, the current projects will be completed first. The certification of the LS8e neo and the neo winglets for the LS6-b and LS7 were recently completed successfully. The focus is now on certification of the DG1001E neo including its new 20m wingtips.

The type support and also the spare parts supply for all DG and LS aircraft will continue to be provided by DG Aviation. The provisions of the support contract remain unchanged.
