Deutsche Aircraft – new German aircraft OEM with full system capabilities opens representation office in Germany’s political centre, Berlin

Berlin, 09 July 2025 – German regional aircraft manufacturer Deutsche Aircraft celebrated the opening of its new office on 8 July at the historic Römischer Hof on Unter den Linden in Berlin.

With this opening, Deutsche Aircraft underscores its strategic focus on expanding its presence in Germany and strengthening its role as a leading German OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) in the aviation sector. The Berlin office will serve as a central point of contact for strategic partnerships, political cooperation and joint dialogue. As a new aircraft OEM with total system capability in Germany, Deutsche Aircraft is committed to helping shape a sustainable and resilient aviation strategy for the Federal Republic.

"With the opening of our new office in the political centre of Germany, we intend to have a more active role in shaping the Federal Republic’s aviation strategy," said Nico Neumann, CEO of Deutsche Aircraft. "Our work at Deutsche Aircraft goes beyond the traditional civil use of the D328eco. With our D328MR (Multi-Role) variant, we are developing resilient and sustainable solutions for urgent needs ranging from reconnaissance capabilities to medical transport."

The D328MR is specifically designed for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) missions. The ability to continuously collect and analyse reliable data in demanding or hostile environments is a key factor in making security-relevant decisions and achieving operational goals.

With its new office in Berlin, Deutsche Aircraft is moving closer to federal decision-makers and institutions. This enables even closer collaboration on shared goals in the areas of climate protection, industrial value creation, and sovereignty.

The office opening follows the successful rollout of TAC 1, the first D328eco test aircraft, on 28 May 2025. This event highlights Deutsche Aircraft’s technological leadership in the field of sustainable regional aircraft.

The Berlin office complements the two main locations:

Oberpfaffenhofen Air Tech Campus: As a center for research and development, Oberpfaffenhofen plays a key role in the technical implementation of the D328eco program. Its proximity to leading aerospace suppliers and universities makes it a driver of innovation for the German aviation industry.

Leipzig: With its logistical infrastructure and aerospace expertise, Leipzig is developing into an important hub for industrial production and supply chains. Deutsche Aircraft is using this location to build up its production capacity.

With its new presence in Berlin, Deutsche Aircraft is optimally positioned to work together with the federal government and associations on key future topics such as climate protection, digital transformation, and industrial value creation.

- In-service data:
- For 2019 the data is dated April while for 2020 it’s dated October. We wanted to compare “shoulder month” to shoulder month, however April 2020 wouldn’t have captured the immediate impact of Coronavirus as our dataset classes aircraft as in storage after 3 months of inactivity.

DA Latest News in a Nutshell

New talent appointed to strengthen the Deutsche aircraft programme

As part of its continued support of Deutsche Aircraft’s D328eco aircraft programme, 328 Support Services GmbH recently appointed a panel of “talent experts” to further strengthen the overall team and ensure strong management structure and processes are in place across the D328eco development programme. Today we focus on the Engineering & Programme departments.

On the programme side, Mr. Peter Spyrka has been appointed Director of Programmes. Peter brings over 20 years’ experience in the global aerospace industry with engineering & development works on both civil and military aircraft programmes. Prior to joining Deutsche Aircraft, Peter worked at Airbus, leading the Hybrid Electric Propulsion System development programme for demonstrator projects. He also worked for Fairchild Dornier back in the late 1990’s.

In Engineering, Mr. Jean-Damien Mazeau has been appointed as our new Head of Propulsion Systems. Jean-Damien also brings more than 20 years’ aeronautical experience to Deutsche Aircraft, having built most of his career at Airbus. He was most recently involved with the A320neo’s entry into service, in charge of propulsion system’s global technical Support.

Last but not least, Dr. Stefan Brunner brings more than two decades of expertise and experience to his position as Head of Airframe. Throughout his career, Stefan spent more than 17 years working directly for the Airbus group where he was heavily involved with a wide variety of major engineering programmes on both commercial aviation and defence & space programmes. In his new role, Stefan will be responsible for design, analysis and modification of the D328eco airframe’s primary structure (Fuselage, Fairings, Wing, Empennage), as well as establishing new processes and procedures to complete aircraft development. Finally, he is responsible for ensuring compliance with the European Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations.

In addition to Peter, Jean Damien and Stefan, we are also proud to announce that we have been busy hiring new talent from not only within Germany, but from all over the world. Coming from a variety of companies within the aerospace industry, we look forward to utilising our new team members’ skills and expertise to achieve the entry into service scheduled for 2025.

All are great assets to the current Engineering & Programme team and will, without a doubt, help support Deutsche Aircraft’s development programme over the coming years.
