Aerodata AG

Aerodata AG is a specialised aerospace systems integrator and engineering firm based at Braunschweig-Wolfsburg Airport. The organisation occupies a specific niche in the value chain, focusing on the conversion of airframes for special missions and the production of high-precision flight inspection equipment. Its core business involves the structural and electronic modification of aircraft to accommodate complex sensors, cameras, and monitoring consoles. The company is most noted for its AeroFIS flight inspection system, which is utilised globally by civil aviation authorities to calibrate ground-based navigation aids. Key programmes involve maritime surveillance and border patrol configurations for aircraft such as the Beechcraft King Air and De Havilland Canada Dash 8 families. Their domestic clients include the German Federal Police, while international customers range from coast guards to national airport service providers. Prospective partners or buyers should verify the specific Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) and Part 21J design approvals held by the company for particular airframes. It is also essential to confirm the integration timelines for custom mission suites and the arrangements for long-term maintenance of both the airframe modifications and the sensitive third-party sensor payloads.
