The island flight plan was extended already: Besides Sylt, the destinations reached out to Helgoland, Juist and Norderney.
There were more and more charter inquiries to destinations, which could not be offered with the fleet for the island air traffic due to the limited range. The result of this development was the logical step for the establishment of the brand AIR HAMBURG Private Jets with comfortable business jets, which are positioned at the airport Hamburg.
Directly next to the general aviation centre (GAT) at the airport Hamburg, AIR HAMBURG conducts the Café HIMMELSSCHREIBER. This was mainly created to offer an exclusive lounge for the jet customers before takeoff. In addition to that, the Café HIMMELSSCHREIBER serves the private jet customers with an exquisite catering.

History
Originally the two young entrepreneurs Floris Helmers and Alexander Lipsky conducted the Flight School Hamburg and enlarged it in the last years. Frequently the two were asked more often not only for flying hours, but for sightseeing and taxi flights to the North and East Frisian Islands. Because of that the company was extended with the name AIR HAMBURG with single and twin-engined aircrafts for sightseeing- and island flights in 2005.The island flight plan was extended already: Besides Sylt, the destinations reached out to Helgoland, Juist and Norderney.
There were more and more charter inquiries to destinations, which could not be offered with the fleet for the island air traffic due to the limited range. The result of this development was the logical step for the establishment of the brand AIR HAMBURG Private Jets with comfortable business jets, which are positioned at the airport Hamburg.
Directly next to the general aviation centre (GAT) at the airport Hamburg, AIR HAMBURG conducts the Café HIMMELSSCHREIBER. This was mainly created to offer an exclusive lounge for the jet customers before takeoff. In addition to that, the Café HIMMELSSCHREIBER serves the private jet customers with an exquisite catering.
