Originally, two young entrepreneurs Floris Helmers and Alexander Lipsky ran the Flight School Hamburg, expanding it in recent years. The business added sightseeing and taxi flights to the North and East Frisian Islands under the name AIR HAMBURG with single and twin-engined aircraft in 2005. Another brand, AIR HAMBURG Private Jets was also established to offer business jet charter services to more distant destinations from Hamburg Airport. The company employs 400 members of staff and offers worldwide business and leisure charter flights.
