Welcome to this in-depth look at Europe's first electric international flights, a groundbreaking project that's changing the future of air travel.

The Electrifly project, operating from July 1st to August 31st, 2024, is using the Pipistrel Velis Electro, a two-seater electric plane certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency.

Flights are operating between Liège Airport in Belgium, Maastricht Aachen Airport in the Netherlands, and Aachen-Merzbrück Airport in Germany.

These flights are a significant step towards sustainable aviation, demonstrating the feasibility of low- or zero-emission electric aircraft for international travel.

"The Electrifly project is a huge step forward in our mission to facilitate zero-emission flights available for the public, opening the door to sustainable air links between regional airports and partnerships with mobility and aviation partners who strive for the same goals regarding zero-emission transportation." - Jonas van Stekelenburg, 2024

The project also includes an electric door-to-door taxi service provided by NIO vehicles, ensuring a fully electric journey from start to finish.

"NIO is proud to be able to provide the emission-free limousine service from door to airport and airport to destination in this amazing project. Electrifly and NIO share the same goal – to provide a cleaner future for next generations – and both are groundbreaking in bringing new technologies to the market; the future is here!" - Ruben Keuter, 2024

This pioneering project marks a significant step towards sustainable aviation and offers a glimpse into the future of electric air travel in Europe.
