Albinati Aeronautics

Albinati Aeronautics is a Swiss business aviation company founded in 2001 by Stefano Albinati and headquartered beside Geneva Airport. It employs around 140 people and has sister companies in Malta (Albinati Aviation Ltd, set up in 2013) and Turin, Italy (from 2017). It received its Swiss Air Operator Certificate from the Federal Office of Civil Aviation in 2005 and today holds CH.AOC.1036; a Maltese AOC obtained in 2014 lets clients place aircraft on an EU commercial certificate.

The company provides private jet charter, aircraft management and, through its Jetron Switzerland SA subsidiary launched in 2023, aircraft sales and acquisitions. Its managed fleet has grown from three jets in 2005 to about 25 by 2021, including Bombardier Global 7500s, and the company states it operated the largest Bombardier Global fleet in Switzerland in 2018. In 2022 it became the first Swiss commercial operator of the Pilatus PC-12 and PC-24, and in 2024 it became the first commercial operator of the Dassault Falcon 6X anywhere. Operations run around the clock, a service introduced in 2012.

Albinati holds IS-BAO Stage I and Stage II registration, ARGUS Platinum rating (2019), American FAR Part 129 approval for flights into the United States, Part NCC approval and, from 2023, Swiss MPO approval. The aircraft listed under its Swiss AOC on the FOCA register include a Cessna Citation CJ1, a Dassault Falcon 8X and an Embraer Praetor 600, based at Geneva.
