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 &amp; aerospace industry and a number of renowned research institutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2011qualified personnel. Like its sister company SKYLINE CDS, a specialist in C4ISR solutions, SKYLINE Aviation\u2019s operations are supported by an extensive global network of industrial partners, with strategic partner Top Aces playing a key role. Together, they deliver first\u2011class contract air services and critical data solutions, providing professional and cost\u2011effective support to armed forces and government agencies during operations, exercises, and training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">L\u201139 Albatros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Aero L\u201139 Albatros operated by SKYLINE Aviation is a jet training aircraft featuring a modern glass cockpit and an advanced mission software suite, integrated in\u2011house by the company\u2019s engineers. Powered by a single turbofan engine, this high\u2011performance aircraft offers a low noise footprint, even at low altitudes, and is equipped with an MX\u201115 electro\u2011optical\/infrared sensor combined with video downlink capability. Even under marginal weather conditions, such as low cloud ceilings, the subsonic L\u201139 remains fully effective for training. Compared to fourth\u2011 or fifth\u2011generation fighter aircraft, it represents a credible and highly cost\u2011effective solution for today\u2019s JTAC training requirements, including the provision of DACAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GA8 Airvan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2011engine aircraft an ideal platform, notably for JTAC training, aerial testing, and homeland security missions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Int\u00e9gr\u00e9e au groupe AEC SKYLINE, la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 n\u00e9erlandaise SKYLINE Aviation propose une large gamme de services a\u00e9riens contractuels sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s cl\u00e9s en main, incluant l\u2019appui JTAC, la guerre \u00e9lectronique et l\u2019entra\u00eenement adversary, combin\u00e9s au remorquage de cibles, au remote sensing, ainsi qu\u2019aux missions de calibration et de tests.
