About Us
ScanTech
Experience You Can Build On
ScanTech is a Danish aircraft maintenance and technical-services company based at Sindal Airport in Northern Denmark.
But ScanTech is not starting from scratch.
The company’s roots reach back decades into Danish aircraft maintenance, particularly the Beechcraft King Air family. ScanTech was originally founded in the Sindal workshop on 1 July 2004, when five employees acquired the maintenance facility following the bankruptcy of Burgess Aviation Group.
After more than a decade of operation, ScanTech became part of Sun-Air, and in 2016 the operation became Sun-Air Technic.
In September 2026, ScanTech returns to the same hangar where the company was originally founded – bringing aircraft maintenance back to a facility that has been part of Danish aviation for more than 50 years.
Old experience. New ambitions.
Our philosophy is straightforward.
We believe good aircraft maintenance is built on experience, craftsmanship, technical understanding and trust.
Aircraft owners and operators need more than someone who can complete a work order. They need people who understand the aircraft, understand the operation and are prepared to find solutions when the answer is not obvious.
That is what ScanTech aims to provide.
Same hangar. Same aviation heritage. A new era for ScanTech.

Stories of experience, heritage and aircraft maintenance in Sindal
Tom’s Story – A Lifetime in Aircraft Maintenance
Tom’s career in aviation began on 1 July 1985, when he joined Business Flight in Sindal as an aircraft maintenance apprentice. After completing his apprenticeship in December 1988, he remained with the company and began building the extensive technical experience that would shape his career for the next four decades.
His first aircraft type ratings included the Piper PA-28 series and several members of the King Air family, including the C90, F90, 99, 100 and 200.
In the summer of 1989, Tom moved to Sweden to join Svensk Flyg Ambulans. The company operated a fleet of six King Air aircraft – one KA100 and five KA200s – configured with dual-stretcher systems for air ambulance operations throughout Sweden. Maintenance was carried out at Säve Airport, outside Gothenburg, where Tom worked until November 1990.
He then returned to Denmark and joined Aalborg Air Taxi at Aalborg Airport. During the following years, he added several new aircraft types to his maintenance licence, including his first jet aircraft.
Building Experience
In March 1994, Tom returned briefly to Business Flight in Sindal. This period also included a five-week deployment to Sudan, before he once again joined Aalborg Air Taxi in October 1994.
The Danish aviation industry was changing rapidly. In 1995, Aalborg Air Taxi and North Flying merged, and during the following years North Flying acquired both ALK Air and Falck Air. The expanding operation brought with it a diverse fleet of jets, turboprops and piston-engine aircraft, giving Tom the opportunity to build experience across an increasingly wide range of aircraft types.
In February 2001, he returned once again to Business Flight in Sindal. When the company went bankrupt in March 2004, Tom and four colleagues decided that the story of aircraft maintenance in Sindal should continue.
Together, they acquired the workshop from the bankruptcy estate and founded ScanTech on 1 July 2004.

A New Chapter for ScanTech
The five founders operated ScanTech for more than a decade. In November 2014, the company was sold to Sun-Air, although the existing team continued operating the business much as before. In August 2016, the company became Sun-Air Technic.
Tom remained there until December 2019, when he joined North Flying as Base Maintenance Manager, primarily responsible for the company’s own aircraft.
But his connection to ScanTech – and to the workshop in Sindal where much of his career had begun – never disappeared.
In September 2026, more than 40 years after Tom first entered the aviation maintenance industry, the journey comes full circle: ScanTech returns.
The Hangar – More Than 50 Years of Aviation History
The hangar that is once again home to ScanTech has been part of aviation in Sindal for more than half a century.
Its story began in 1978, when it was built by the Danish construction company HØM. The company was primarily known for producing timber houses, but it also entered aviation through HØM Fly, operating passenger flights throughout the Nordic region.
In 1981, HØM Fly became Business Flight, operated by Hardvig Pedersen. The company obtained Beechcraft authorisation for the King Air series, and its aircraft were subsequently used for operations in Africa, including flights supporting mining companies.
Following the death of Hardvig Pedersen in a King Air 200 accident near Luxembourg in 1984, Business Flight continued under his widow and brother-in-law, Mike Burgess. The maintenance organisation later became part of the Burgess Aviation Group.
For the following decades, the hangar remained an active aircraft maintenance facility – and became the workplace where a new generation of engineers and technicians developed their skills.

From One Chapter to the Next
In 2004, Burgess Aviation Group went bankrupt. But rather than allowing the workshop and its expertise to disappear, five employees acquired the maintenance facility from the bankruptcy estate.
On 1 July 2004, ScanTech was born – in this very hangar.
For the next twelve years, ScanTech operated the aircraft maintenance facility in Sindal. In 2016, the operation became Sun-Air Technic, later part of the Sundberg Aviation Group.
Around 2024, Sun-Air Technic ceased its maintenance activities at the location. For the first time in decades, the hangar no longer housed an active aircraft maintenance organisation and was instead used primarily for aircraft storage.
But the story of the hangar was not finished.
On 1 September 2026, ScanTech returns to the place where it began, bringing aircraft maintenance back to the historic workshop in Sindal.
As part of this new chapter, ScanTech works in close cooperation with Copenhagen Air Taxi, bringing together the experience and know-how of two Danish aviation companies. By sharing expertise and working closely across our organisations, we aim to strengthen our capabilities, expand our combined knowledge and build an even stronger position for the future.
More than 50 years after the hangar was built – and more than 20 years after ScanTech was originally founded within its walls – a new chapter begins.
Same hangar. Same aviation heritage. A new era for ScanTech.
