In addition to converting aircraft for the aforementioned areas of application, Atlas Air Service is authorized to integrate complex Textron Aviation manufacturer kit installations such as Extended Nose, Drop Hatch or Extended Range (ER) at its Bremen location. As an Authorized Sales Representative for Special Mission Aircraft, Atlas Air Service is also authorized to sell these customized special mission aircraft.

This strategic cooperation underscores our long-standing expertise in business aircraft and special mission conversions and opens up new opportunities for strategic business development,” says Nicolas von Mende, CEO of Atlas Air Service AG.

“Together with Textron Aviation, we offer our customers individually configurable solutions at the highest technical level, and we are now authorized to oversee projects from conversion in our own hangars through to the sale and delivery of the aircraft. We can also retrofit factory-offered modifications in Germany,” adds Gregor Bremer, COO of Atlas Air Service AG.
