JMB AIRCRAFT S.R.O.

Behind JMB Aircraft is its biggest partner JMB Aviation, a Belgian company with more than 20 years of experience in aviation. JMB Aviation owns a private airfield with a successful flight school. Maintenance and repair facilities are located in Amougies, Belgium.

JMB Aircraft is run by two Belgian brothers who started to fly when they were only fourteen years old. It is safe to say that flying runs through their blood; their passion and dedication is evident in the final product.

In October 2023 the company opened their new production facility in Chocen, Czech Republic. One of the most remarkable achievements of this new facility is the pace of production it enables. Thanks to its modern infrastructure and prime location, a new aircraft can now roll out every three days. This new factory is just the beginning of expansion plans as the company is set to embark on the construction of two additional adjacent facilities.
