“We are delighted to extend our partnership with Airways Aviation and recognize their achievements as Europe’s largest owner-operator of Diamond Aircraft,” said Luca Giaquinta, Global Director of After Sales at Diamond Aircraft Group. “Airways Aviation’s extensive operational experience, high standards and first-class facilities underscored by the second highest number of Diamond flight hours recorded globally in 2024, makes them an ideal service partner to uphold Diamond’s unwavering commitment to quality, safety and reliability.”
The agreement, finalized during the Pilot Expo 2025 in Brussels, appoints both Airways Aviation Italy (Professione Volare) and Airways Aviation Australia as Diamond Aircraft and Austro Engine Gold Service Centers. This milestone follows the appointment of Airways Aviation ESMA (France) maintenance and engineering services as a Gold Diamond Service Centre in December 2024.
Under this new arrangement, Airways Aviation Group solidifies its ongoing commitment to enhancing service quality and extending its reach within the general aviation market worldwide. With an already impressive footprint in flight training and maintenance, Airways Aviation’s newly expanded authorization streamlines its capability to maintain and service a wider range of Diamond Aircraft, further benefiting both Airways Aviation’s own substantial fleet and external customers seeking comprehensive support and expertise.
“This agreement marks another significant step in our strategic collaboration with Diamond Aircraft,” said Romy Hawatt, Founder and Chairman of Airways Aviation Group. “Our relationship has grown year after year, underpinned by our shared dedication to quality, safety and innovation. By strengthening our maintenance and engineering capabilities in Europe and Australia, we can continue to deliver the highest standards of service to our global customer base, whether that is training the next generation of pilots or supporting third-party aircraft owners.”
Diamond Aircraft, globally renowned for its advanced composites, robust safety features and leading aerodynamics, has cultivated a reputation for excellence that aligns closely with Airways Aviation’s emphasis on technological advancement and high standards of aircraft maintenance.
The expanded maintenance capabilities of Airways Aviation, operating as Diamond Aircraft and Austro Engine Service Centers and now including France, Italy, and Australia, will help ensure that Diamond Aircraft operators and owners can readily access best-in-class support wherever they are located.
