Stuttgart, May 31, 2018: DC Aviation, one of Germany’s largest business jet operators and one of the leading operators in Europe, was again recognized for its excellent safety performance. At this year’s EBACE, the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) honored DC Aviation with the 2018 “EBAA Diamond Award of Merit” for surpassing 100,000 hours of safe flying. DC Aviation is one in a small group of operators ever to receive this award.
