Aviation Plaza brings together independent aviation specialists who coordinate their services at defined locations. When your aircraft needs comprehensive attention—maintenance, interior updates, refinishing—specialists work together at one place, eliminating the fragmentation that extends timelines and complicates coordination.
The first Aviation Plaza operates at St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport in Switzerland, demonstrating how coordinated specialist excellence transforms aircraft service delivery. Explore what this means for aircraft owners and operators, discover how the three Altenrhein specialists work together, and learn about the Aviation Plaza approach.

FOR AIRCRAFT OWNERS
The Aviation Plaza Treatment
Your aircraft deserves more than competent maintenance. It deserves the same attention to excellence you expect when managing your other significant assets—whether that’s a residence, a yacht, or a collection. Aviation Plaza locations deliver specialist services through a framework built around one simple principle: aircraft ownership should feel seamless, not like managing multiple vendors across different locations.
5 VALUE PROPOSITIONS:
1. Make Downtime Work for You
Aircraft downtime is inevitable—maintenance schedules don’t negotiate. But here’s what changes: when your aircraft needs attention, Aviation Plaza turns a single service visit into comprehensive renewal. Maintenance, interior updates, refinishing—all coordinated at one location instead of three separate trips months apart. Your aircraft gets everything it needs while you schedule once, not repeatedly. Think of it as the difference between multiple short renovation phases versus one complete transformation.
2. Someone Else Handles the Details
You didn’t acquire your aircraft to become a project manager. Aviation Plaza specialists coordinate among themselves—you stay informed without getting involved in daily coordination. Questions between maintenance and interior teams? They resolve it directly. Paint timing dependent on interior completion? They figure it out. You receive updates on what matters: timeline, progress, decisions requiring your input. Everything else happens behind the scenes, the way premium service should work.
3. The Service Experience You're Accustomed To
Think about how your other assets are managed—your homes, your cars, your investments. There’s a certain standard: clear communication, commitments kept, issues handled proactively, attention to what matters to you. Aviation Plaza brings that same approach to aircraft services. Not just technical competence (that’s baseline), but the complete service experience. Specialists who understand that you’re evaluating not just what gets done, but how the entire process feels.
4. Timelines You Can Actually Trust
Realistic planning beats optimistic promises. Aviation Plaza specialists coordinate their timeline estimates before making commitments. When maintenance identifies additional work affecting interior schedules, you hear about it immediately with adjusted timelines—not weeks later as an unpleasant surprise. This coordination delivers something valuable: return-to-service dates you can actually plan around. Book that trip. Schedule that meeting. Your aircraft will be ready.
5. While You're There: Make It Worth the Visit
When aircraft service requires your presence—design decisions, inspections, final walkthroughs—Aviation Plaza locations ensure these visits serve multiple purposes. Depending on location, that might mean access to regional attractions, premium hospitality, cultural experiences, or simply excellent facilities for productive work. The specifics vary by location, but the principle remains: if you’re spending time at an Aviation Plaza location, that time should offer value beyond watching technicians work. Your service visit becomes an opportunity, not just an obligation.
The Aviation Plaza Treatment isn’t about revolutionary technology or unprecedented capabilities. It’s about bringing the service standards you expect from premium asset management to business aviation. Your aircraft gets specialist excellence. You get an experience that respects your time and expectations. Both matter equally.
FOR OPERATORS
Coordinated Execution
Flight departments, aircraft management companies, and charter operators manage the operational reality of aircraft service projects: coordinating schedules, negotiating contracts with multiple vendors, ensuring quality delivery, and maintaining aircraft availability. Aviation Plaza doesn’t eliminate these responsibilities—you still contract directly with each specialist. What changes is how those specialists work together, reducing your coordination burden significantly.
5 VALUE PROPOSITIONS:
1. Pre-Coordinated Timeline Planning
When you approach Aviation Plaza specialists for project quotes, they’ve already coordinated their planning. The maintenance provider understands interior work timelines. The interior specialist knows paint requirements. Timeline estimates you receive account for cross-domain dependencies because specialists communicate before providing you with proposals. You still negotiate separate contracts with each specialist, but those contracts reflect integrated planning rather than isolated vendor assumptions. The result: realistic schedules that align across service domains—e.g. maintenance, interior, paint—before you commit to any individual contract.
2. Specialists Coordinate Directly—Not Through You
During project execution, technical coordination happens between specialists without requiring your constant involvement. When maintenance work reveals requirements affecting interior specifications, those specialists communicate directly to resolve it. When interior modifications impact paint timing, they adjust schedules together. You receive updates on outcomes, not requests to facilitate conversations between vendors who should be talking to each other. Your role shifts from coordination mediator to informed project oversight—still responsible for contracts and budgets with each specialist, but freed from managing daily technical coordination across service domains.
3. Cross-Domain Issues Get Resolved Proactively
Multi-vendor projects typically surface integration problems late: specifications conflict, timeline dependencies weren’t considered, technical requirements across domains misalign. Aviation Plaza specialists identify these issues early through systematic coordination. When one specialist encounters work requiring input from other service domains, relevant specialists assess solutions together before problems become delays. You benefit from this proactive coordination without orchestrating it. Issues that would normally require your intervention to resolve between disconnected vendors get handled through the Aviation Plaza framework.
4. Logistical Efficiency at One Location
Managing projects across multiple locations means coordinating aircraft ferry flights, scheduling site visits to different facilities, tracking progress at separate vendors. Aviation Plaza consolidates this logistically. The aircraft remains at one location throughout all service phases. Your site visits cover all specialists in a single trip. Progress monitoring doesn’t require traveling between facilities. While you maintain separate contractual relationships with each specialist, the co-location at a regional airport delivers practical advantages that reduce travel overhead and simplify physical project oversight.
5. Shared Accountability Across Specialists
You still hold individual contracts with each Aviation Plaza specialist, and each remains independently responsible for their service domain. What differs is their mindset: Aviation Plaza specialists accept shared accountability for integrated project outcomes. When coordination challenges arise, specialists work together toward solutions rather than pointing to contractual boundaries between separate vendors. This doesn’t change your legal relationships with each provider, but it changes how they approach problem-solving during execution. The framework encourages collaborative resolution of integration issues—reducing scenarios where you must arbitrate between vendors protecting their individual interests.
