Deutsche Aircraft has formed a partnership with Akkodis, a digital engineering consulting company, who will become a first-tier supplier for the aircraft manufacturer, with the goal of advancing the development of future, low-emission regional aircraft.

“The partnership with Akkodis is a significant step in our mission to develop the next generation of regional aircraft,” said Nico Neumann, CEO of Deutsche Aircraft. “Together, we are committed to digital excellence and emission-reducing technologies to actively shape the future of aviation – from Germany, for Europe and beyond.”

Akkodis cover the entire development process from integrating systems to the final certification of the aircraft, and will provide particular expertise in digital modelling and simulation, advanced materials, and preparation for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and hydrogen propulsion systems.

“This agreement reinforces our diversification strategy and strengthens our role in the aerospace industry,” commented Dr. Peter Mehrle, CEO of Akkodis Germany. “Together with Deutsche Aircraft, we demonstrate Europe’s industrial capability and innovative power: by combining their expertise with our digital engineering know-how, we are driving regional aircraft development made in Germany – and positioning Europe as a leader in sustainable aviation.”

“For us, this cooperation is about translating engineering expertise into real progress,” added Reiner Oldewurtel, Vice President of Akkodis Germany AS&D GmbH. “Through close collaboration with Deutsche Aircraft, we contribute to faster system integration, more efficient testing, and smoother certification – always guided by quality, passion, and forward-thinking.”
