About the Company
Volkswagen AG is a German automotive group headquartered in Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony, and one of the world's largest automobile manufacturers. The company operates Volkswagen AirService, a wholly-owned corporate airline based at Braunschweig Wolfsburg Airport (EDVE), located approximately 10 km from the Wolfsburg headquarters.
The fleet comprises eight private aircraft: two Dassault Falcon 8X, four Dassault Falcon 7X, and two Pilatus PC-24, operating under the callsign 'Beetle.' Volkswagen AirService completes approximately 2,800 flights annually, with two-thirds transporting VW employees to the group's 118 global locations and one-third serving charter clients.
The airline connects Wolfsburg with other VW Group sites including Audi in Ingolstadt (EDMI), Porsche in Stuttgart (EDDS), SEAT in Barcelona, and Skoda in Mladá Boleslav. Braunschweig Wolfsburg Airport, a major shareholder in which Volkswagen is involved, serves exclusively business aviation with no scheduled commercial passenger service.
