AAL AG

‍

AAL AG, based in Altenrhein, Switzerland, has been the sole shareholder of the aircraft painting company Egli Paint GmbH, also based in Altenrhein, since July 1, 2024.

‍
Since its establishment in 2006, Egli Paint GmbH has earned an outstanding reputation for its painting work on business and special mission aircraft as well as aircraft components. Aircraft painting perfectly complements the range of services offered by the company group, which includes Atlas Air Service AG in Bremen and Ganderkesee, Augsburg Air Service GmbH, and AAL AG in Altenrhein.

‍

Last year, Egli Paint moved into a new paint hangar at St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport, which not only created additional working space but also featured the installation of environmentally friendly air filtration systems. The hangar now accommodates aircraft up to the size of an Embraer Praetor, Gulfstream G280, Cessna Citation Longitude, Bombardier Challenger 350, or Pilatus PC-24. The company paints new and pre-owned aircraft from Swiss and various international manufacturers using state-of-the-art painting technology.

‍

The employees of Egli Paint GmbH bring with them many years of experience and will continue to be led by their Operations Manager, Stefan Koch, following the takeover by AAL.

‍

Natascha Rode, Managing Director of AAL AG, commented:

‍

"With Stefan Koch and the new paint hangar, Egli Paint is well-positioned to continue its growth. Stefan is a recognized expert in aircraft painting with more than 20 years of experience. Egli Paint has always reliably met the highest quality standards, and we will continue to do so.”

‍

Nicolas von Mende, CEO of Atlas Air Service AG, added:

‍

"Egli Paint is a logical addition to the group's range of services. The aircraft maintenance facilities in Altenrhein, Augsburg, Bremen, and Ganderkesee, with a total of nearly 300 employees, can now also offer aircraft and component painting within the group. The European fleet of business jets is continuously aging; a new paint job makes pre-owned aircraft more attractive and thus contributes to sustainability. With Egli Paint, we can not only offer excellent Swiss quality but also reduce aircraft downtime by synchronizing painting and maintenance services."
