Global Sky has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with VoltAero for the pre-order of 15 Cassio aircraft, positioning itself as a potential launch customer in Southeast Asia for VoltAero's family of electric-hybrid aeroplanes.
The agreement was announced at the opening of the Farnborough International Airshow in the UK. It enables the two companies to collaborate on initiatives that will introduce Cassio to Southeast Asia for efficient and sustainable regional air mobility. This includes defining routes and operations for the hybrid-electric aircraft, identifying airport compatibility, establishing recharging infrastructure at these facilities, and developing a Cassio distribution network.
“Cassio is a perfect match for the regional air mobility ambitions of Southeast Asia, combining the aircraft's flight range with the safety of our patented parallel electric-hybrid propulsion system,” said Jean Botti, VoltAero's CEO and Chief Technology Officer. “We look forward to a mutually beneficial collaboration with Global Sky.”
Global Sky provides aircraft trading services to aircraft owners, with exclusive access to an extensive inventory of fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. It also offers a full range of complementary services, including aircraft management, financing, and technical support.
