Deutsche Aircraft as Summit Partner at the upcoming Aircraft Supplier Summit in Leipzig

The emphasis of the Summit is procurement excellence, resilience and sustainable supply chains.

The Aircraft Supplier Summit aims at driving a technological transformation to achieve sustainability, particularly regarding supply chain and procurement in aviation. The entire aviation ecosystem across Leipzig can benefit from this initiative.

Since day one, Deutsche Aircraft has dedicated itself to being the flagship of innovation within the industry, accelerating the transition to a more sustainable future. Our commitment to new ideas, collaboration and connecting with like-minded partners helps to realise our vision. We are pleased to be a strategic partner of this year's edition of the Aircraft Supplier Summit in Leipzig, where our future state-of-the-art, industry 4.0 and paperless Final Assembly Line (FAL) of the D328ecoTM will be located.

This summit will set down the groundwork for coming together with a mindset of sustainable and innovative concepts of supply chains, debating on how these can be implemented in partnership with suppliers, and how this then can benefit the entire ecosystem surrounding the aviation industry today.

We welcome the opportunity of having such an event, bringing together all involved parties of the aviation industry to build up a network of concurring sustainable partners from various business areas, academia and politics and laying out the foundations of a sustainable ecosystem today.

About the data:
- Source: Cirium
- Schedules data: full year 2019 vs. 2020 – excludes non-scheduled flying
- In-service data:
- For 2019 the data is dated April while for 2020 it’s dated October. We wanted to compare “shoulder month” to shoulder month, however April 2020 wouldn’t have captured the immediate impact of Coronavirus as our dataset classes aircraft as in storage after 3 months of inactivity.

New talent appointed to strengthen the Deutsche aircraft programme

As part of its continued support of Deutsche Aircraft’s D328eco aircraft programme, 328 Support Services GmbH recently appointed a panel of “talent experts” to further strengthen the overall team and ensure strong management structure and processes are in place across the D328eco development programme. Today we focus on the Engineering & Programme departments.

On the programme side, Mr. Peter Spyrka has been appointed Director of Programmes. Peter brings over 20 years’ experience in the global aerospace industry with engineering & development works on both civil and military aircraft programmes. Prior to joining Deutsche Aircraft, Peter worked at Airbus, leading the Hybrid Electric Propulsion System development programme for demonstrator projects. He also worked for Fairchild Dornier back in the late 1990’s.

In Engineering, Mr. Jean-Damien Mazeau has been appointed as our new Head of Propulsion Systems. Jean-Damien also brings more than 20 years’ aeronautical experience to Deutsche Aircraft, having built most of his career at Airbus. He was most recently involved with the A320neo’s entry into service, in charge of propulsion system’s global technical Support.

Last but not least, Dr. Stefan Brunner brings more than two decades of expertise and experience to his position as Head of Airframe. Throughout his career, Stefan spent more than 17 years working directly for the Airbus group where he was heavily involved with a wide variety of major engineering programmes on both commercial aviation and defence & space programmes. In his new role, Stefan will be responsible for design, analysis and modification of the D328eco airframe’s primary structure (Fuselage, Fairings, Wing, Empennage), as well as establishing new processes and procedures to complete aircraft development. Finally, he is responsible for ensuring compliance with the European Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations.

In addition to Peter, Jean Damien and Stefan, we are also proud to announce that we have been busy hiring new talent from not only within Germany, but from all over the world. Coming from a variety of companies within the aerospace industry, we look forward to utilising our new team members’ skills and expertise to achieve the entry into service scheduled for 2025.

All are great assets to the current Engineering & Programme team and will, without a doubt, help support Deutsche Aircraft’s development programme over the coming years.
