Dublin, 31st August 2018: Stellwagen Group has today announced the delivery of the first of its Airbus C295 aircraft to DAC Aviation International, a premier humanitarian operator. DAC will commence humanitarian operations with the aircraft shortly in Africa.
In June 2017, Stellwagen Group signed a firm order for twelve Airbus C295 specialised cargo aircraft with an option to purchase additional aircraft. This was the first sale to a leasing company by Airbus Defence and Space. The agreement positions Stellwagen to address civil markets including the humanitarian sector, freight operators in austere environments, and government agencies such as search and rescue services.
David Butler, Group Chief Executive Officer, Stellwagen Group, said: “This is a tremendous milestone for the Stellwagen Group. We are delighted to work with DAC Aviation to provide this critical support and assistance to the less fortunate. The Airbus C295 is the ideal aircraft for this mission.”

The Airbus C295 is the aircraft of choice for the humanitarian assistance organisations due to its superior performance and capabilities, especially its ability to take off and land over short distances and from unimproved surfaces. The Airbus C295 is a twin turboprop multi-role transport aircraft manufactured in Spain.
