Press Release: DC Aviation Group expands its presence with Air Operator Certificate from San Marino


DC Aviation Group has announced its subsidiary DC Aviation San Marino SRL (DCAS), has been issued its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the San Marino Civil Aviation Authority (SM-CAA) marking another significant milestone, as the Group celebrates its 25th anniversary.

With the AOC in hand, DCAS can now operate and manage third-party business aircraft commercially, including aircraft charter under San Marino’s T7 registration. The first aircraft to be operated under the new AOC is the Bombardier Global 7500. 

Holger Ostheimer, Managing Director of DC Aviation Al-Futtaim, said: “We are extremely pleased to have successfully fulfilled all the regulatory requirements to obtain our AOC from the SM-CAA. Our success in being awarded the AOC is the culmination of over six months of hard work, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire team for their exceptional efforts. 

“The AOC grants us the flexibility to offer our VVIP customers a wider range of registration and operational options and complements our other AOC operation in Dubai and the DC Aviation Group’s locations in Stuttgart and Malta,” he added.
