neutral  Trudy Peters: but what do you do then with "luftfahrtbezogen"?

  -> Yeah, but I think they really are just using two terms for the same thing. I kind of prefer Birgit's suggestion if we really are just talking about an airport.

companies pertaining to the aviation business


Explanation:
I agree with Trudy, you need to be able to use "related" for bezogen. According to the dictionary "affine" is also "related to" and "pertaining to"...

Another option - "associated with"

Although, I guess you will need to judge if this is aviation or aerospace...not quite sure from you context.
