“The Legacy 600/650 is a great aircraft. Three cabin zones and a huge baggage compartment together with the great dispatch reliability make the Legacy the perfect aircraft for our operation,” said Floris Helmers, CEO and Partner, Air Hamburg. “With today’s deal we will take delivery of three new Legacys to our fleet within three quarters of a year. One L650 joined the fleet in January, one L600 will be ferried from São José dos Campos in two weeks and today’s L650 will be delivered in September.”

About Air Hamburg

Air Hamburg was established in 2005 by the young entrepreneurs Floris Helmers and Alexander Lipsky, after managing their Hamburg based flight school FLUGSCHULE HAMBURG since 2001. A personal touch expressed by the slogan “SIMPLY PERSONAL” is the trademark of the aviation school and the airline. Both founders can still be found working as instructors and pilots.

AIR HAMBURG is focused on the following mission as basis for further expansion: Youngest fleet, no owners’ approval, and 100% crewed aircraft guarantee highest availability. The airline with 20 business jets generated a turnover in 2014 of EUR 53 million, with 180 employees.

The 20 jets with open base are available for flexible flights, 365 days a year, 24/7 due to a Dispatch and Sales team working in 3 shifts around the clock. The cockpit crews are simulator trained and fully customer minded. In the cabin, the highest level of service and catering can be guaranteed due to well trained cabin service representatives.
