BHS Aviation takes advantage of Europe's growing charter market
With the activation of the Swiss AOC (Air Operator Certificate) for fixed-wing aircraft, BHS Aviation is responding to developments in the European charter market.
"Being an aircraft operator in the heart of Europe, we saw an opportunity in the increasing demand for individual short- and medium-haul charter flights. The COVID-19 pandemic and all its implications has motivated us," says Daniel Suter, CEO of BHS Aviation AG.

BHS Aviation contributes to medical care in the Ukraine
The BHS Aviation Group is donating 5,000 Euros to a project run by "Mrija". The non-profit organization was founded in Würzburg immediately after the start of the war in Ukraine and provides aid for the Ukrainian population. One focus is on supplying clinics and hospitals with pharmaceuticals as well as medical equipment and supplies.
The money donated by BHS Aviation stems from a raffle at the "Treffpunkt Airport" trade fair in Schwäbisch Hall. The equivalent value of the panoramic flights with our BO105 over the Adolf Würth Airport was raised by BHS Aviation and made available for medical aid in the Ukraine.

BHS Aviation GmbH receives unlimited CAMO approval
The German Federal Office of Civil Aeronautics (LBA) has granted our company an unlimited Continuing Airworthiness Management Approval (CAMO) effective March 15, 2022.
In this conversion process, the temporary approved CAMO according to Regulation (EU) No. 1321/2014 Annex 1 (Part M) Section A Subpart G was successfully transitioned to one according to Annex Vc (Part CAMO) and completed. In this context, the corresponding manuals were also revised.
The approval is based on Regulation (EU) No. 1321/2014 Annex Vc (Part-CAMO) CAMO.B.330, as last amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1963 of 08 November 2021.
As part of our complete or flexible management solutions, we also offer CAMO services to helicopter owners.
Instrument flight operations in Bamberg
It is now possible to fly to the Bamberg-Breitenau airport under instrument flight rules (IFR). This means that approaches and departures are safer and more weather-independent than with the previous visual flight traffic. In addition, larger aircraft up to 10 tons takeoff weight can take off and land in Bamberg.
Business flights to and from Bamberg can be planned better under the new conditions and can also be carried out in poor visibility. This benefits Bamberg as a business location and its companies.
Extensive construction measures were undertaken for instrument flight operations, such as the shortening of a high-voltage line, the reconstruction of the weather station and the expansion of the approach and centerline lighting. The Aero Club Bamberg e.V. has been granted permission to operate the landing field according to visual flight and instrument flight rules. Furthermore, an approach lighting system may be erected.
The airspace in the vicinity of the airfield is established as a so-called Radio Mandatory Zone (RMZ) and classified as airspace E 1,000 ft AGL.
Cooperation between BHS Aviation GmbH and Hotel Bayerischer Hof Munich
The Hotel Bayerischer Hof Munich is now also an official partner of BHS Aviation GmbH. Main part of this cooperation is the exclusive recommendation of flight services to the guests of the Hotel Bayerischer Hof as well as the recommendation of the Hotel Bayerischer Hof to the customers of the BHS Aviation Group. Thanks to a general permission for take-offs and landings outside airfields and airports, it is possible for us to fly the guests of both hotels as close as possible to their desired destination or to pick them up from there.
The official press release can be found here.
