Distar Air is a Czech aircraft producer headquartered in Ústí nad Orlicí. The firm focuses on creating and manufacturing light aircraft, offering both kits intended for amateur builders and fully assembled, ready-to-fly models.[2]
The enterprise was established to maintain production of designs originally developed by Urban Air, including the touring model known as the Distar Samba XXL and the Distar UFM-13 Lambada motorglider.[2]
Ownership of the company lies with Společnost DISTAR CZ a.s., a multi-industry manufacturer that also engages in producing machinery, engines, and equipment for stone quarry operations.[1]
Production rights for the Samba model were licensed to Airo Aviation in Dubai, where it was manufactured under the name Airo 5.[2]
