Setting yourself apart when competition is high might be a challenge, but in the case of HAUTE AVIATION, it has been the driving force. Founded as an exclusive charter company and based in Saanenland they are a perfect fit for the demanding and international clientele that both visit and live in Gstaad.

Discretion is key
Personified it is indeed by the Cofounder Alexander Tamagni and his wife Catherine Tamagni who not only are partners in business but also in life. “It’s our passion, says Catherine, we wanted to create a company that focused on excellence in aviation – above and beyond. But at the same time remained personal and bespoke, our clients should always feel that we offer them the utmost discretion but without being impersonal.

A warm welcome to Saanenland
“It has been quite the experience, moving here. We have been exceptionally well received by the official Saanenland community and they have been very kind and supportive of us establishing the PC12 base for HAUTE AVIATION here, explains Catherine. Without this positive and warm welcome and the fabulous support of our team, it would not be possible to be where we are today. We are very grateful.”

Safety is paramount
HAUTE AVIATION was the first Swiss commercial PC-12 operator, and it always requires 2 pilots in the cockpit for extra safety. “Many of our pilots also fly aerobatics”, says Alexander, himself included, “skills that are essential for flying (or for a pilot) in the mountains. Aerobatic training enhances a pilot's ability to recover from unusual flight conditions, and because the PC-12 is so versatile, we are sometimes faced with tricky weather situations when operating on narrow mountain airfields. We want to work with aviators who have that drive and passion for flying.“

Time is of essence
In April 2022 they obtained their own AOC license, all services are therefore now 100% in-house, connecting the Tamagni family even closer to their clients.

Based on the philosophy that; “time is valuable”, bespoke services like specialist assistance in aircraft management and maintenance, and business optimisation are provided to increase efficiency and reduce costs for owners. Furthermore, advisory services regarding sales and purchase of a new jet are also within the perimeter.

Fly at your convenience
The possibilities are endless and it's up to ingenuity: the PC-12 is based in Gstaad and can easily connect you to smaller airports all over Europe, say fly to St. Tropez for the weekend. Popular with clients is also the brand new and very fast Phenom300E that is based in Zurich Airport, it will take you across Europe in a couple of hours and connect you throughout the world in style. Crossing the Atlantic to New York non-stop is easy when the Global Express conveniently takes off from St.Stephan. Newly renovated the cabin can be converted into a de-luxe flying hotel suite (with 6 beds!), so you can dine elegantly while comfortably crossing the ocean towards the city that never sleeps. Flexibility is paramount and therefore clients can be picked up worldwide thus connecting the mountains with the world at any time.

HAUTE AVIATION is a full-service exclusive partner, providing clients with peace of mind and expertise in all matters of aviation. Because when it comes to flying trust is everything and it starts at the heart of our business. Born in the alps, bound for the world.
