Fly High Gala:

Celebrating 20 Years of Spairliners

Spairliners celebrated its 20th anniversary with the Fly High Gala—an emotional and vibrant evening that brought together the people who have shaped our journey in the aviation MRO industry over the past two decades.

A Night on Hamburg’s Famous St. Pauli

Set in the heart of Hamburg’s iconic St. Pauli district, the venue struck a perfect balance between industrial chic and urban elegance. With its open architecture and golden lighting, it offered an unforgettable setting to mark this important milestone in our company’s history.

Chic Meets Hanseatic Attitude

About 150 guests—including international customers, trusted partners, and former and current colleagues—joined us to celebrate two decades of collaboration and achievement. The dress code reflected the mood: festive, yet relaxed, in true Hanseatic style.

A Program to Remember

The evening featured live music, emotional speeches, a walking dinner, and a lively dance floor. From warm reunions and spontaneous laughter to quiet moments of reflection—the event brought our shared history to life and gave us space to look ahead.

Celebrating the Past—Looking to the Future

The Fly High Gala was more than a celebration—it was a tribute to the spirit, dedication, and innovation that define Spairliners. From our roots in A380 component support to our expanding global footprint—the evening honored every chapter of our story while opening a new one.

Inside our global Customer Event in Hamburg

SOF – Spairliners Operators Forum 2025: Industry Exchange, Insight and Connections

In June 2025, Spairliners welcomed customers, partners, and aviation professionals from around the world to Hamburg for the SOF – Spairliners Operators Forum. This three-day event offered valuable opportunities for exchange, networking, and collaboration.

An event focused on the future of aviation support

The SOF 2025 brought together key representatives from international airlines, aviation experts, and members of the Spairliners team to share knowledge, explore current industry challenges, and discuss innovative approaches to aircraft component services.

Across inspiring keynotes, technical presentations, and open discussions, we focused on what matters most—reliable support, transparent collaboration, and shared goals for long-term success.

Beyond business—genuine encounters

What made the SOF 2025 truly memorable went far beyond the technical agenda: it was the atmosphere of openness, hospitality, and authentic connection that shaped every moment.

We wanted our guests to feel truly welcomed in Hamburg—with time and space to connect beyond the conference setting. A rooftop reception with sweeping views over the city, a harbor boat tour through Hamburg’s maritime heart, and a carefully designed setting for personal exchange all contributed to an experience focused on people.

Because in the end, it’s the human side of aviation support that makes the difference.

Relive the experience

We’ve captured the highlights of SOF 2025 in our photo gallery. From inspiring talks to unforgettable moments on and off stage, here’s a look back at an event that left a lasting impression.

Thank you for being part of it

To all who joined us in Hamburg—thank you for your presence, your input, and the spirit you brought to SOF 2025. We’re proud to host a forum that celebrates aviation collaboration and builds momentum for the future.

The journey’s not over—our official aftermovie is coming soon, capturing the spirit, the faces, and the unforgettable moments of SOF 2025.

Stay tuned—planning for the next edition is already underway.
