Presentation

Manufacturer, operator and airport. Together toward an integrated system change

We need to rethink aviation, integrated and with our own energy ecosystems. Evia Aero strives to be the first airline in Europe to operate zero-emission aircraft on a fixed, commercial schedule. Operations are scheduled to start in late 2026/early 2027 with a 9-seat hydrogen-electric aircraft (H2 converted Britten-Norman Islander) followed by a 9-seat battery-electric aircraft (Eviation Alice) in 2029. Evia Aero is one of the aviation companies in Europe that has signed LOIs for 25 electric aircraft (manufacturer Eviation, USA) and 25 hydrogen hybrid aircraft (manufacturer Cranfield Aerospace Solutions, UK).
