Martin Wimmer — Founder & CEO

Martin is a licensed pilot and aviation enthusiast who founded Aviatr to solve a problem he experienced firsthand — the fragmented landscape of European aviation education. With a background in software development and a passion for flying, he built Aviatr to be the platform he wished existed when he started his own pilot journey.

When Martin decided to pursue his pilot's license, the biggest challenge wasn't in the cockpit — it was navigating the fragmented European aviation training landscape. Finding the right flight school meant sifting through outdated websites, scattered forum threads, and word of mouth. Understanding EASA regulations felt like learning a second language. And figuring out the medical requirements, exam structure, and training path? Nobody had a clear answer.

So he built one. What started as a personal project to map European flight schools became Aviatr — a platform connecting aspiring pilots with everything they need to start and advance their aviation journey.
