Editor’s Notes:
K5-Aviation was founded in 2010 in Germany by four experienced aviation experts. K5-Aviation is known in the market to challenge the industry’s standards; therefore K5-Aviation develops with its partners new groundbreaking solutions for the business aviation sector. It currently operates four Airbus ACJ319’s ceo and neo and one Bombardier Global 6000 aircraft worldwide. All employees of K5-Aviation have several years of professional experience in aviation and have worked for AOC holders operating 20 VIP aircraft and more.
