The team behind the wings

As the world’s largest glider maintenance company (CAO) with over 50 employees—including 25 highly qualified service specialists—DG Aviation combines decades of experience with technical know-how.

Whether in maintenance, new aircraft sales, or our own development department, every team member contributes to ensuring that the highest quality is not just a promise, but a standard that is lived out every day.
