Part of the overarching AEC SKYLINE combo, Dutch company SKYLINE AVIATION provides a comprehensive range of specialised turnkey contract air services including JTAC, electronic warfare and adversary training combined with target towing, remote sensing and calibration and testing. Operating a growing fleet of L-39, Learjet and GA8 aircraft equipped with state-of-the-art mission systems, SKYLINE AVIATION serves various armed forces and public security organisations, among them the Belgian and Netherlands militaries. Active since 1991, SKYLINE AVIATION has a proven track record of over 30 years of successfully providing fast air and ISR support to a wide range of customers which also include various actors in the defence & aerospace industry and a number of renowned research institutes.

The teams of SKYLINE Aviation are composed of highly trained and motivated personnel, largely drawn from a military background, including former combat aircraft pilots qualified as weapons instructors as well as JTAC‑qualified personnel. Like its sister company SKYLINE CDS, a specialist in C4ISR solutions, SKYLINE Aviation’s operations are supported by an extensive global network of industrial partners, with strategic partner Top Aces playing a key role. Together, they deliver first‑class contract air services and critical data solutions, providing professional and cost‑effective support to armed forces and government agencies during operations, exercises, and training.

L‑39 Albatros

The Aero L‑39 Albatros operated by SKYLINE Aviation is a jet training aircraft featuring a modern glass cockpit and an advanced mission software suite, integrated in‑house by the company’s engineers. Powered by a single turbofan engine, this high‑performance aircraft offers a low noise footprint, even at low altitudes, and is equipped with an MX‑15 electro‑optical/infrared sensor combined with video downlink capability. Even under marginal weather conditions, such as low cloud ceilings, the subsonic L‑39 remains fully effective for training. Compared to fourth‑ or fifth‑generation fighter aircraft, it represents a credible and highly cost‑effective solution for today’s JTAC training requirements, including the provision of DACAS.

GA8 Airvan

Designed for practicality and versatility, the GA8 Airvan operated by SKYLINE Aviation can be configured for a wide range of missions. It allows the integration of numerous sensors and communications systems, making this single‑engine aircraft an ideal platform, notably for JTAC training, aerial testing, and homeland security missions.
