DC Aviation Group's Malta operations receives Air Operator Certificate

DC Aviation Group has added another feather in its hat as its operations in Malta – DC Aviation (Malta) Ltd. received its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the Transport Malta Civil Aviation Directorate.

With the AOC in hand, DC Aviation Malta (DCAM) can now operate and manage third-party business aircraft commercially which includes aircraft charter under the Maltese 9H registration. The Malta location joins the company’s other regional AOC operations in Stuttgart, Dubai and Zurich. The additional AOC allows aircraft owners more flexibility in their choice of registrations and operation.

Stanley Bugeja, Managing Director at DCAM, said, “We are extremely pleased to have complied with all the regulatory requirements for receiving our AOC. The receipt of the certification tops off more than one year of hard work and I would like to congratulate and thank the entire team for their efforts.”

“With the AOC, DCAM is now in a position to offer a great solution to business jet owners and we believe there is a real demand for such services that require the highest levels of quality and professionalism. Also with this certification, DCAM extends the geographic footprint of the DC Aviation Group which has almost 20 years’ experience operating private and business jet aircrafts to airline standards,” said Michael Kuhn, CEO at DC Aviation.

DCAM was founded in 2008, with the focus on providing a high-quality service to the corporate aviation industry at Malta International Airport. DCAM offers a host of services like Fixed Bases Operations, Aircraft Management, Aircraft Charter and Aircraft Handling, to Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), including Eastern European countries such as Russia and Ukraine.
