Deutsche Aircraft soars at ILA Berlin 2024

We have successfully participated in Europe’s leading aerospace trade fair, ILA Berlin 2024. This five-day biennial event held in Berlin, Germany, was a valuable platform for us to showcase our dedication to innovation, sustainability, and collaboration.

On the first day, we announced the commencement of construction of our Final Assembly Line at Leipzig/Halle Airport. Our Chief Operating Officer, Nico Neumann, met with the State Secretary of the Saxon State Ministry for Economics, Labour and Transport, Thomas Kralinski, to discuss the progress of this significant project. This development marks a crucial milestone for us as it expands our manufacturing capabilities.

We were also an active participant at the ILA Stage Aviation Future Lab, where Regina Pouzolz, our Director of Sustainability, moderated a special international panel. The discussion focused on the potential of establishing a climate-neutral regional aviation ecosystem in Northern Norway, with an emphasis on the region's abundant, low-cost renewable energy and our commitment to sustainable practices.

On the second day of the event, the D328 UpLift aircraft, a project funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Climate Action (BMWK), was showcased at the DLR booth. This aircraft, part of the LuFo Klima aviation research programme, serves as an open platform for the industry, including SMEs, start-ups, and research institutions, to explore climate-friendly flight solutions.

On the third day of ILA Berlin, we also invited aerospace professionals and aspiring graduates to visit our booth at the ILA Talent Hub. Attendees had the opportunity to learn more about the vision, current projects, and exciting career prospects at our company.

Our presence at ILA Berlin 2024 underscores our unwavering commitment to driving innovation, sustainability, and collaboration within the aerospace industry. From our new Final Assembly Line and strong connection to regional aviation clusters, to our active participation in climate-neutral aviation initiatives, we are poised to shape the future of regional aviation.

About the data:
- Source: Cirium
- Schedules data: full year 2019 vs. 2020 – excludes non-scheduled flying
- 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.
