Egli Paint: We prefer living in color.

Precision and Aesthetics in Aircraft Finishing

Egli Paint specializes in high-quality aircraft painting services at St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport. The company combines decades of surface treatment experience with modern infrastructure, delivering precision finishing that meets Swiss quality standards. Since 2024, Egli Paint operates as a fully owned subsidiary of AAL AG, positioning the facility within the Atlas Air Service Group network.

The operation functions from a state-of-the-art paint hangar opened in 2023, located directly adjacent to the runway with access to the 1,500-meter runway ideal for business jet operations. This modern facility enables Egli Paint to execute complete aircraft refinishing, custom design implementations, and protective coating applications with technical precision and aesthetic excellence.

The team approaches aircraft painting as both technical process and visual craft. The integration with AAL AG enables clients to coordinate paint services efficiently with maintenance events—significantly reducing aircraft downtime compared to managing these services through separate facilities at different locations.

Egli Paint’s participation in Aviation Plaza Altenrhein extends the facility’s core painting capabilities into coordinated project delivery. When aircraft require maintenance, interior refurbishment, and paint services, Egli Paint coordinates directly with AAL and AeroVisto—transforming what would traditionally require three separate facility visits into integrated execution at one location.

Paint Excellence, Coordinated Delivery

Egli Paint’s position within Aviation Plaza Altenrhein enables paint services to function as coordinated project components rather than isolated vendor engagements. Surface preparation requirements align with maintenance work schedules. Paint timing coordinates with interior completion. Technical specifications receive cross-domain review before execution begins. Clients benefit from paint expertise integrated into comprehensive project planning—not paint services scheduled independently after other work completes. The Aviation Plaza framework delivers what separated facilities cannot: paint excellence coordinated with adjacent service domains at one location, reducing total project timelines while maintaining specialized finishing quality.

Services

Complete Aircraft Finishing Services

Complete Aircraft Painting

Complete aircraft refinishing from surface preparation through final protective coating application. Egli Paint delivers new paint applications and complete refurbishment for business jets and smaller aircraft, executed in the modern paint hangar with controlled environment conditions ensuring consistent finish quality. Paint services encompass surface treatment, primer application, base coat systems, and final clear coat protection—all executed to manufacturer specifications and Swiss quality standards that preserve aircraft value and appearance.

Custom Design & Liveries

Implementation of individual liveries and complex design requirements translating owner preferences into precise aircraft appearance. Egli Paint’s design capabilities range from subtle accent modifications to complete custom livery execution, supported by technical expertise in multi-color applications, registration markings, and graphic implementations. Design services account for aerodynamic considerations, regulatory requirements, and long-term appearance maintenance—ensuring custom liveries deliver visual impact while meeting technical and regulatory standards.

Protective Coatings

Application of specialized protective coatings preserving aircraft value through surface protection against environmental factors, UV exposure, and operational wear. Protective coating services utilize advanced materials providing enhanced durability and appearance retention compared to standard finish systems. These coatings reduce long-term maintenance requirements while maintaining aircraft aesthetic quality—particularly valuable for aircraft operating in demanding environmental conditions or requiring extended service intervals between refinishing.

Paint Refurbishment

Targeted paint refurbishment addressing localized wear, damage, or appearance degradation without requiring complete aircraft refinishing. Refurbishment services include spot repairs, panel repainting, and touch-up work restoring aircraft appearance efficiently. This approach extends time between complete refinishing cycles while maintaining professional appearance standards. For aircraft requiring refurbishment alongside scheduled maintenance, coordination with AAL through Aviation Plaza enables both services to proceed during single downtime periods, maximizing operational efficiency.

RELATED SPECIALISTS

Comprehensive Projects Require Coordinated Services

Aircraft paint services often coordinate with maintenance and interior work for optimal project efficiency. When your aircraft requires maintenance alongside paint, AAL delivers MRO services coordinated with Egli Paint’s finishing schedule. For interior refurbishment occurring before or during paint work, AeroVisto provides specialist services at the same location. These specialists operate independently while coordinating through Aviation Plaza Altenrhein—enabling consolidated service delivery during single downtime periods rather than multiple separate facility visits across different locations.
