DAS Private Jets

DAS Private Jets — formally DAS (Donau Air Service) Private Jets — is a German business aviation company headquartered in Mengen in the Sigmaringen district of Baden-Württemberg, with its operating base at the Mengen-Hohentengen airfield. Founded in August 2014, the company is active in business aviation, operating business and private aircraft on behalf of clients. The company positions itself around three core service lines, as presented on its own website: investment, operation and charter. Under the investment strand, DAS advises and accompanies clients who wish to own a business jet themselves, framing a considered investment in business aviation as a way to redefine personal mobility. Under the operation strand, it takes over the relevant tasks for jet owners who want their aircraft managed professionally so they can concentrate on their own business. Under the charter strand, it arranges private jet charters for clients who know where and when they want to fly, handling the rest of the arrangements. Beyond pure flight operations, DAS Private Jets offers additional services around the journey, including catering on board the aircraft, a limousine service and event planning as part of the flight trip. This bundling of aviation and ground services is typical of the boutique end of the business aviation market, where operators compete on discretion, flexibility and end-to-end handling rather than scale alone. As a relatively young operator, DAS Private Jets has built its fleet around light and midsize business jets. Its current fleet, as documented in September 2026, consists of business aircraft, and its former aircraft types have included the Cessna Citation Jet 3 (registration D-CUBA) and the Cessna Citation XLS+ (registration D-CEHM). The company presents itself bilingually in German and English, reflecting a client base that extends beyond Germany into the wider European charter market. The company is privately held and does not appear to be listed on a stock exchange. Its identity is closely tied to its home region in Upper Swabia, where the Mengen-Hohentengen airfield provides the infrastructure for its operations. In a fragmented European business aviation market dominated by a handful of large operators, DAS Private Jets represents the smaller, owner- and charter-focused segment, combining aircraft management with brokerage-style investment advice and charter sales.

DAS Private Jets was founded in August 2014 as a German business aviation company. It is formally known as DAS (Donau Air Service) Private Jets, a name that links it to the Danube (Donau) region of Baden-Württemberg, and it established its headquarters in Mengen in the Sigmaringen district, with its operating base at the Mengen-Hohentengen airfield. From the outset the company focused on business aviation rather than scheduled airline service. It operates business and private aircraft on behalf of clients, and it built out a service model that goes beyond flying: clients can engage the company for aircraft investment advice, for professional management and operation of an aircraft they own, or for straightforward private jet charter. Alongside the flight itself, DAS Private Jets offers onboard catering, a limousine service and event planning as part of the trip. Over its first decade the company assembled a fleet of business jets. Its former aircraft types have included the Cessna Citation Jet 3, registered D-CUBA, and the Cessna Citation XLS+, registered D-CEHM — both light-to-midsize jets well suited to the European charter market. As of September 2026 the fleet consisted of business aircraft, and the company continued to present itself as an active operator in German and European business aviation. The company communicates bilingually in German and English through its website, where the three pillars of its business — invest, operate, charter — are laid out for prospective owners and charter clients. It remains a privately held company and is not listed on a stock exchange. Its trajectory reflects the broader growth of regional business aviation in Germany, where airfields such as Mengen-Hohentengen serve as bases for small, specialized operators serving corporate and private clients.
