Where this list comes from
The largest fleets on our German list belong to DC Aviation in Stuttgart (36 aircraft), Aerowest in Hannover (23), FAI rent-a-jet in Nuremberg (20), Eisele Flugdienst in Stuttgart (14) and Windrose Air in Berlin (12). All hold an air operator certificate from the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt.
We start from the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt's list of licensed German air carriers with active operating licences, dated 15 September 2026, and keep the companies that fly business jets, turboprops or helicopters for charter.
Fleet sizes come from the operators' own published information and aircraft databases, and change as aircraft join and leave. A larger fleet means more aircraft to choose from, not a better service.
Each operator's page shows its certificate and aircraft. To check any operator yourself, see our guide Is my flight legal?, or read how we choose our operators.

How to choose between operators
Fleets differ in the sizes of aircraft they fly. Match the cabin and range to your trip; see our aircraft guide.
An aircraft based at or near your departure airport saves positioning cost. Bases on this list run from Hamburg and Berlin to Stuttgart and Munich.
Every operator here holds an LBA AOC. Ask for the operator's legal name and certificate on any quote, from us or anyone else.
We send your trip to the operators with suitable aircraft and show the quotes side by side, with the operator named on each.
