Luxaviation promotes Sabine von der Linden to chief aviation officer
She has flown under the flags of Portugal, the UAE, Denmark, San Marino and the UK.
Luxaviation Group has appointed Sabine von der Linden as chief aviation officer, effective September 11, 2026, succeeding Robert Fisch who moved to the newly created role of president Aviation Services earlier this year.
Von der Linden joined Luxaviation five years ago as a captain on the Bombardier Global series and rose through the organisation via pilot training, assessment and standards roles, serving as instructor, examiner and most recently group standards officer.
She has flown under the flags of Portugal, the UAE, Denmark, San Marino and the UK.
“Sabine’s appointment reflects the depth of operational expertise within Luxaviation,” said Patrick Hansen, CEO of Luxaviation Group. “Her experience in the cockpit, combined with her extensive understanding of training and standards across the Group’s operations, makes her ideally placed for this position.”
“I am proud to take on this new responsibility,” said von der Linden. “My priority is to build on the expertise we have across Luxaviation and continue developing our people through practical, meaningful training. I want our crews to feel supported, confident and prepared for the decisions they face every day.”
Fisch held the chief aviation officer role for almost ten years, during which Luxaviation expanded its Air Operator Certificates, bases and aircraft types.
He will continue to oversee aviation services in his new capacity.
