Albinati Aeronautics, Geneva-based private aviation company, has achieved a milestone with 15 years in operation.

Founded in February 2001 by Stefano Albinati, the organisation started out by managing one aircraft and employing five staff, but now supports 18 aircraft and 115 employees. Following the receipt of its Swiss AOC in 2005 the operator established a CAMO and between 2009 and 2010 became an IS-BAO, USA Visa Waiver Program and FAR Part 129 approved operator.

In 2014 it extended its range of services and continued its international expansion by obtaining a Maltese AOC through sister company Albinati Aviation, opening a Maltese office in St Julian's. The same year, the company obtained its CAT II approval, expanding all weather operations.

Last year was equally successful, as four Globals came under management. The company has paid tribute to its crews and ground staff for their role in reaching the milestone.
