About us

History and today

Westflug Aachen looks back on its history with pride.
As a family business founded in Merzbrück in 1963, it can rightly be said to have been one of the first flying schools in Germany. The experience we have gained over decades in the training and further training of pilots still flows into our day-to-day business today.
Numerous pilots learn to fly in Aachen every year, and for good reason.

In April 2023, the ownership of the now renamed Westflug Flight Training changes. The new management is represented by Michael Bösing & Diego Corli. Professional, structured and yet family-oriented. The two got to know each other herself during her private pilot training at Merzbrück. During their first trips with the new license and a chartered Westflug aircraft, they quickly developed a quickly formed a friendship in the cockpit and the desire to achieve something together.
