The company

The very best has always been our maxim. And today? As a leading system provider, we offer holistic concepts, like to think outside the box and do not shy away from challenging tasks and difficult operating conditions. Because we offer:

Modern and young helicopter fleet owned by the company.
Technical support at the highest level.
Use of experienced and permanently employed pilots.
Operation of an internationally recognized flight school.
Team of committed and competent employees.
Solid and sustainable business management.

The foundations for our biggest concern: first-class reliability, outstanding results and the perfect outcome for our customers. We work with passion and enthusiasm, but also with professionalism and the necessary sense of responsibility. It's about "how we do it", and how we do it is unique

AIR LLOYD: Motivation, Erfolg und Zufriedenheit auf ganzer Linie

A philosophy and a promise

Appreciation, openness, trust – these are the pillars on which AIR LLOYD is based, both as a company and as a team of employees. These are not mere buzzwords, but everyday values which create the conditions for motivation, success and satisfaction across the board. Both our internal relationships and our dealings with customers and partners are characterised by appreciation, fairness, esteem and respect. A positive attitude is the order of the day, as well as a particular openness to new ideas, different views, change processes, other cultures and criticism.

We are happy to debate, because the constructive weighing of different opinions is the only way to make and stand by our decisions. Keyword: responsibility. As the basis for well-functioning teamwork, a high degree of freedom is indispensable.

Every single person is required to act entrepreneurially and autonomously. The result: a strong team that stands by their word.

Here, quality is the number one priority. We stand by this claim, and also set it as a benchmark for our partner companies. Safety is another essential criterion. This is why we select our suppliers with great care, continuously review all links in the value chain, and constantly strive to optimise our process design.

Awareness of social responsibility is a matter of course for us. In this area, we take into account different cultures, customs, values and norms in different countries, as well as legal and social systems. We rely on open communication with the authorities, and offer our services in accordance with the rules.

Safety and Sustainability

Sustainable and responsible: It is our corporate duty to ensure the health of our employees and customers. That's why we rely on savvy, experienced staff and the highest maintenance standards for out aircraft. In addition, it is of great importance to us that our production processes are environmentally friendly, and that we deal with the resources available to us in a responsible manner.
