Premium Czech aircraft manufacturer joins forces with industry-leading headset innovator to deliver uncompromising comfort and safety
Kunovice, Czech Republic & Lake Oswego, Oregon – December 2, 2025 – Bristell by BRM AERO, a global leader in premium light sport and general aviation aircraft with over 1,100 aircraft delivered worldwide, today announces a strategic partnership with Lightspeed Aviation, the pioneering manufacturer of premium aviation headsets. This collaboration brings together two brands united by a shared commitment to innovation, safety, and the pursuit of excellence in every detail of the flying experience.
As an Authorized Lightspeed Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Bristell will integrate Lightspeed’s award-winning Active Noise Reduction (ANR) headsets into its product offerings, providing customers with seamless access to industry-leading audio technology designed specifically for the demands of modern aviation.
“At Bristell, we’ve built our reputation on uncompromising quality – from our all-metal construction and 51-inch wide cockpit to our state-of-the-art Garmin avionics,” said Martin Bříštěla, CEO and Co-founder of Bristell. “Our customers expect excellence in every aspect of their aircraft, and that extends beyond the airframe. Partnering with Lightspeed allows us to offer a complete premium flying experience where comfort, communication clarity, and safety are never compromised.”
The partnership comes at a pivotal time for both companies, with MOSAIC regulations expanding opportunities in the light sport aircraft category and growing demand for premium integrated solutions that enhance the entire ownership experience.
“Bristell represents everything we value in an aviation partner – a family-owned company with deep manufacturing expertise, a global dealer network spanning six continents, and an unwavering commitment to pilot safety,” said Heider Lazzarini, CEO of Lightspeed Aviation. “Their aircraft are designed for extended cross-country flights and demanding training operations where our headsets’ deliver exceptional performance in comfort and clarity.”
