Siegfried Axtmann studied Civil Engineering where he holds a Ph. D. He is the founder and majority owner of FAI Aviation Group. He has started his career in Aviation in mid of the 80´s by accident, being owner of a badly management Bell 206 helicopter which he used to visit his real estate-projects in Germany.
Therefore in 1989 he acquired an AOC
with two rescue helicopters and started FAI (which stands for Flight Ambulance International). In April 1990, a few months after the German border collapsed, he established and operated the first public Rescue Helicopter Base in Eastern Germany, still existing under the name “Christopher Lypsia”. Ten years later Siegfried stepped out of the helicopter rescue business but continued expanding his fleet of business jets with focus to air ambulance and other special mission operations in hostile areas as well as surveillance flights etc.
With a fleet of 25 aircraft FAI is Germany´s largest fleet operator in General Aviation and world market leader by revenues in the field of patient transport by ambulance jet. For this niche FAI is operating twelve dedicated aircraft, another three business jets are based and operated in crisis areas exclusively for the world´s largest NGO. Rest of the fleet is operating in ad hoc charter.
Beside his position being Chairman and CEO of FAI Aviation Group he is member of the Consular Corp, holding the position of the Honorary Consul of Hungary in the State of Bavaria in Germany.
