Airpass’ Managing Director, Rudiger (Rudy) Knewitz, is also the CEO of “APG Germany”. It seems that APG may be a front used by Rudiger for working with Mahan in an attempt to evade US sanctions.
رودیگر کِنِویتس، مدیر عامل ایرپس، رئیس کل شرکت «APG Germany» نیز است که به نظر میرسد این شرکت پوششی باشد برای پنهان کردن همکاری غیرقانونی کنویتس با ماهان.

Company registration In case you need the translation from a certified translation company, we can do it, but this is not possible before week 42 in October. List of shareholders
This list is the last official list of 1999. Rüdiger Knewitz 85% Herbert Freudlinger 15% By the end of 2017 I have taken over the 15% of Mr. Freudlinger, an old friend who helped financially in the early days of the company. This purchase is not yet documented by a lawyer because Mr. Freudlinger is over 80 years old and in a bad health constitution. Because of that, we were not able to fix a joint notary appointment. However it is irrelevant, because of the German law, an owner of more than 75% has the full and single control of the company. List of Directors / Managers As pointed out in the company registration, there are two Executive Directors
-
Rüdiger (Rudy) Knewitz
-
Karin Knewitz
-
both with single authorization
-
-
Sylke Stern - Office Manager
-
Benjamin Viegen - Sales Manager
both with no authorization for financial or juridical representation Scope of activities Airpass GmbH is one of the longest existing tourism representation and GSA companies in Europe, older than APG or Aviareps. In contrast to other GSA companies, Airpass has the policy not to represent many companies. Airpass wants to render, personal and efficient services for only a small number of airlines. At present Airpass represents: SATA Azores Airlines, online with 3 weekly flights from the Azores to Frankfurt. Services: Sales, ticketing, marketing, contracts with tour operators, PR, administration and finance, political representation with other airlines (codeshare, interline), FAA and ministries in Germany, Airport supervision Air Calin: Offline Services: Sales, ticketing, marketing, contracts with tour operators, PR, administration Air Italy (former Meridiana) Offline (at present) Services: Sales, ticketing, marketing, contracts with tour operators, PR, administration As pointed out in the APG documents, Airpass is 33% shareholder of APG Germany. All APG Germany employees are employees of Airpass GmbH, sub contracted to APG. Therefore in the services to Mahan Air, there will be no changes at all. All employees who worked for Mahan Air in APG, will continue to work for Mahan Air with the same professional services. I thank you for your confidence in our company. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards and greeting from (cold) Germany.

Here, Rudiger explicitly states and explains how his employees have been re-listed as APG employees, while assuring Mahan they will still work together with no changes.
همانطور که در این نامه مشاهده مینمایید، آقای کنویتس به صراحت اعلام میکند که به منظور جلوگیری از بروز مشکل در همکاری با ماهان، تعدادی از کارکنان ایر پس به APG منتقل شدهاند و به ماهان اطمینان میدهد که همکاریشان همچنان به حال خود باقی است.

We have also seen Rudiger corresponding with Mahan consistently since the signing of his initial contract in 2018. Here is a payment between Rudy and Mahan in 2021.
