INTRODUCING CH-AERO
Discover the captivating story behind CH-Aero, your premier destination for weight and balance services and cutting-edge aircraft weighing equipment. Let us take you on a journey through our beginnings, our innovative solutions, and our vision for the future of aviation.
Our Roots.
It all started in 2008 when CH-Aero, also known as Aviation Monks B.V, was founded. Headquartered in Uithoorn, our expertise in aircraft weighing services quickly spread across Europe and beyond. Coen Smit, a true visionary and co-founder, has been the sole shareholder since 2019.
Coen's Journey.
Coen's passion for aircraft maintenance ignited early in his career at Air Holland, a renowned Dutch airline, in the early 90s. From a mechanic to a technical director, Coen's expertise soared to new heights. In the early 2000s, he seized the opportunity to start his own independent aircraft maintenance company at Schiphol through a management buy-out. Stella Aviation Technics, as it was called, flourished into a global success with multiple locations worldwide.
Challenges & Opportunities.
However, the 2008 crisis brought unexpected challenges to the aviation industry, leading to the closure of Stella Aviation Technics due to the bankruptcy of major clients, predominantly airlines. Undeterred by adversity, Coen saw a new opportunity emerging - the need for flexible weighing solutions.
Innovation & Succes.
In 2014, Coen joined forces with Allscales Europe, a renowned scale manufacturer, to develop his very own weighing scales. By listening to his customers' needs and leveraging his extensive weighing experience, the AW5 series weighing platforms were born. These state-of-the-art scales have been embraced internationally, paving the way for our continued success. Building on this triumph, we introduced the improved AW5-2 weighing equipment to the market.
Who we are.
At CH-Aero, we specialize in aircraft weight and balance services and the sale of top-notch equipment. With approximately 300 weighings conducted worldwide each year, we ensure that engineers responsible for crucial weighing and balancing tasks within the maintenance team, receive comprehensive training through our esteemed CH-Aero Academy.

Through Remote Support Services, CH-Aero generates Weight and Balance reports based on the results provided by these hubs, ensuring seamless operations.
