The Stuttgart-based startup Flyv announced at the Paris Air Show that it had signed a letter of intent to purchase up to 100 Electra electric aircraft. The document was signed before the air show in the United States of America.
Flyv is committed to improving connectivity to rural areas in Europe and later worldwide by taking advantage of smaller, more accessible airports. The strategic use of the Tecnam P2012 Traveller, a nine-seat commuter aircraft with impressive short-haul performance, ensures efficient and environmentally responsible operations. Proprietary AI algorithms are the company's "secret sauce", allowing it to create tailored flight networks on decentralized air routes and adapt flight schedules to passenger demand and operational constraints.
Flyv believes that the future of aviation lies in hybrid and electric solutions. That's why Flyv is looking to take to the skies with the nine-seat hybrid/electric eSTOL aircraft Electra from US-based Electra.aero. Company CEO Anton Lutz recently witnessed the demonstration of Electra's "Goldfinch" technology at Manassas Regional Airport in Virginia, and the company is continuing to make progress on its letter of intent for 100 Electras.
"Our ambitions at Flyv are not limited to the aviation sector. We envision a broader expansion to the entire transport ecosystem," says Flyv CEO Tomislav Lang. "That's why we're excited about MOVE, an opportunity to explore innovative concepts such as Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and our version, AMAAS - Aviation as a Service." Flyv's approach to air travel is not just about minimizing CO2 emissions. "By avoiding building new infrastructure and using existing facilities, we bypass the typical 1.000 to 5.000 tons of CO2 per kilometer that are generated when building roads and rails. This approach significantly reduces our carbon footprint and is a leader in sustainable air travel," he added. .
Founded in 2020 by a team of experienced aviation industry experts, Flyv is on track for success with its new venture. "Our goal is to match the size of the aircraft to their use and environmental friendliness," says Lang. He adds: "Once our model is launched in Europe, we would like to expand it to intercontinental markets.
“We believe our unique, customer-centric and on-demand approach to air travel combined with strategic OEM partnerships and innovative technology will revolutionize the way people travel,” says co-founder and CEO Anton Lutz. Flyv is ready to shape the future of aviation, one sustainable flight at a time.
