Overview

Air Independence is a German aviation company specialising in business jet charter, aircraft management and related luxury travel services. According to its official website, the company has been offering private jet charter flights since 1999 and describes itself as the "Air Independence Gruppe" (Air Independence Group). Its operations are based at the special airport Oberpfaffenhofen near Weßling in Bavaria, where the company is headquartered. The German Wikipedia entry identifies Air Independence as a German airline holding a German air operator's certificate (Luftverkehrsbetreiberzeugnis), which allows it to conduct commercial charter flights. The company's core business is worldwide ad-hoc charter of business and private jets. Beyond charter, Air Independence provides aircraft management, maintenance coordination, and consulting for the purchase and sale of aircraft. Its service portfolio also extends into luxury lifestyle offerings: VIP concierge, yacht charter, luxury travel, sport event hospitality, exclusive event reservations and personal shopping. The website highlights a fleet of more than ten aircraft available for charter and a network of over 4,000 bookable aircraft worldwide, alongside a 25+ year track record in the industry. Air Independence targets a premium clientele seeking exclusive travel experiences. Its positioning emphasises safety, comfort, and a personal, trust-based international network. The company's stated principles include "We respect, We communicate, We never assume," reflecting a service culture focused on individual client care. The fleet consists of modern, well-maintained business jets, and the company maintains a round-the-clock team to organise worldwide travel. As of August 2026, the German Wikipedia lists nine business aircraft in the Air Independence fleet. The company is privately held and operates under the Air Independence Gruppe umbrella, with ALTAVIA Charter GmbH appearing in connection with its charter services. It maintains a presence at industry events such as AERO Friedrichshafen, where it was represented in April 2025. The official website is available in German, English and Russian, underscoring its international client base.

History

Air Independence was founded in 1999, according to its official website, which states that the company has been offering first-class private jet charter flights since that year. The company is headquartered in Weßling, Bavaria, and operates from the special airport Oberpfaffenhofen, a location known for business aviation in the Munich region. From the beginning, the company's goal was to offer exclusive travel experiences to its clientele, building on expertise and an international, trust-based network. Over more than two decades, Air Independence expanded its services beyond ad-hoc charter. It developed capabilities in aircraft management, maintenance coordination, and consulting for the purchase and sale of aircraft. The company also broadened into luxury lifestyle services, including VIP concierge, yacht charter, luxury travel, sport event hospitality, exclusive event reservations, and personal shopping. This diversification reflects a strategy to serve high-net-worth clients across multiple travel and leisure needs. The company operates under the umbrella of the Air Independence Gruppe and maintains a German air operator's certificate, enabling worldwide charter operations. Its fleet has grown to include modern business jets; as of August 2026, the German Wikipedia lists nine business aircraft. The website advertises access to a premium fleet of more than ten aircraft and a global network of over 4,000 bookable aircraft. Air Independence has maintained a visible presence in the aviation industry, for example at AERO Friedrichshafen in April 2025. Its website is available in German, English, and Russian, indicating a focus on international clients. The company continues to emphasise personalised service, safety, and comfort, with a round-the-clock team organising worldwide travel.
