Oriens Aviation is celebrating 10 years of operations this month. Recently settled into its expanded hangar facilities at its London Biggin Hill Airport HQ, the company is looking forward to imminently welcoming an additional PC-12 on to its Air Operator’s Certificate, which will primarily be tasked with air ambulance missions. Later this Spring it will add the first PC-24 to its charter operation, alongside an existing Part-NCC HondaJet.
Oriens Aviation has diversified and grown significantly since it was first incorporated in 2015 by CEO Edwin Brenninkmeyer, with one employee. It has evolved into a thriving Authorised Centre for Pilatus and Tecnam and since summer 2022, a Cirrus Aircraft MRO partner.
Originally founded as a consultancy helping start-up companies write business plans and secure funding in the very light jet (VLJ) sector, Oriens Aviation today supports a 43-strong workforce in various sales, operations and MRO disciplines . Oriens invests in the local community through its apprenticeship scheme and has ambitious plans for its MRO expansion.

Edwin Brenninkmeyer commented: “We have made great strides over the past decade and I want to thank our fantastic team of exceptional employees for their continued support and dedication. We are now in a strong position for the next ten years to take advantage of some significant advancements in aviation technology coming to market . We are following these developments with great interest."
“We will be looking to help our customers, suppliers and employees achieve more. We strive to be the first aviation service provider the UK general aviation industry think of, whether they require help with sales, maintenance or operations support,” he added.
Oriens Aviation will be attending AERO Friedrichshafen, Germany (April 9-12) and Private Flyer Fest (16-17 May) at Wycombe Air Park, Bucks, UK.
