Aviation Pioneer Martin Schröder Passes Away at 93, Leaving a Lasting Legacy

On October 2, 2024, at the age of 93, Martin Schröder passed away, leaving behind an enduring legacy that forever shaped the aviation industry. Known for his visionary leadership, Schröder’s influence continues to be felt across global air transport.

His journey began in 1958 when he founded Martin’s Air Charter, a small charter airline that evolved into the renowned Martinair. Under his guidance, the company became a major force in both passenger and cargo transportation, reflecting his innovative mindset and entrepreneurial drive.

Schröder was deeply committed to the idea that air travel should be accessible to all, a principle that guided his career. His foresight not only fueled the growth of Martinair but also fostered close cooperation with KLM, eventually contributing to the formation of Air France KLM Martinair Cargo. His unwavering dedication helped position the company as a global leader in air cargo, with his achievements still benefiting the industry today.

Adriaan den Heijer, EVP of Air France KLM Cargo and managing director of Martinair, remarked that Schröder would be remembered as a man who followed his dreams with determination and passion. Den Heijer noted that Schröder’s name would forever be tied to aviation in the Netherlands and beyond, with his visionary leadership continuing to inspire future generations.

He also expressed condolences to Schröder’s wife, Tineke, their children, grandchildren, and the entire family, offering them heartfelt sympathy and wishing them strength during this difficult time.
