Deutsche Aircraft continues to strengthen its sales and marketing team as work on developing the new-generation turboprop D328eco continues.

Nils Heuer (pictured right) recently joined Deutsche Aircraft in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich as the new sales director for the D328ecoTM programme from Lufthansa Technik where he was responsible for sales and business development.

“The D328eco is unique in the market due to its combination of efficiency, performance and sustainability,” said Nils Heuer. “I’m looking forward to working with our customers to unlock the diverse operational potential of the D328ecoTM.” Heuer has completed an integrated Master’s degree programme, with degrees in industrial engineering and aviation systems engineering (Lufthansa Technik / Technical University of Braunschweig / University of Applied Sciences Bremen).

Christian Pürschel started at the same time as head of communications and PR also in Oberpfaffenhofen. Pürschel has a successful track record in communicating and marketing innovations and industrial products at thyssenkrupp, among others. “With Deutsche Aircraft’s mission and the production of the D328eco we will make regional air transport future-proof together with our customers and partners,” said Pürschel who holds a Master’s degree in economics.

Both will report to Anastasija Visnakova, vice president, sales & marketing, Deutsche Aircraft.
