Sparfell San Marino, a subsidiary of the Swiss aviation group, has received an AOC from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Republic of San Marino.

Sparfell CEO Edward Queffelec states: “Offering high regulatory standards and understanding the transactional needs of the industry, a San Marino AOC is another solution we are proud to offer to business jet owners for aircraft registration, asset management and commercial operation. After the 2019 acquisition of LaudaMotion Executive and the recent acquisition of Speedwings' air operator activities in November, the San Marino AOC is another step towards extending our aircraft management offers, to ultimately better serve our customers.”
