History

2002 LISA Airplanes was founded by Erick HERZBERGER and Luc BERNOLE with the intention to create an ambitious enterprise in the field of leisure aviation. From the start, their vocation was to become one of the major international manufacturers in the sector, providing their clients with safe, innovative and high-performance airplanes as well as a quality service. Convinced that the success of our enterprise relies on multiple skills, the founders put together a team of twelve interfacing with technical laboratories, leading-edge industrials and international development partners.
