Overview

Air Alliance Express is the operating name of Air Alliance Group GmbH, a German aviation services group headquartered at Siegerland Airport in Burbach, North Rhine-Westphalia. The group describes itself as an international aviation service provider active in six business areas: air ambulance flights, charter flights, aircraft trading, aircraft engineering, maintenance, and aircraft management. It maintains additional offices or branches in Vienna, Cologne, and Wiesbaden. A major part of the group's activity is international air ambulance transport, offered through its subsidiary Unicair GmbH. For this purpose the group operates a fleet of twelve aircraft equipped for intensive care. These transports cover patients of all age groups, including premature infants and children, as well as overweight and infectious patients and patients requiring ECMO support. The group has grown partly through acquisitions and investment. In 2018 a majority stake in the company was sold to DPE (Deutsche Private Equity). In August 2021 Air Alliance Group GmbH took over the German air ambulance provider Jetcall GmbH in a merger. More recently, the official website states that Air Alliance is now part of Pilatus Flugzeugwerke AG (Pilatus Aircraft Ltd), the Swiss aircraft manufacturer. As of October 2022 the Air Alliance Group fleet consisted of twelve business aircraft. Previously operated types included the Cessna Citation Sovereign and the Piper PA-42. The group's flight school, Air Alliance Flight Center GmbH, uses a separate training fleet including Diamond DA40 NG, Diamond DA40 TDI, Diamond DA42 Twinstar TDI, Diamond DA62, Tecnam P2008 JC Mk II, Piper PA-34, and Cessna 152 aircraft. The brand is therefore best understood as a German aviation services and air ambulance group rather than a scheduled airline, with a focus on medical repatriation, business aviation, and related technical services.
