Flyvbird to Revolutionize Regional Air Mobility
/Flyvbird (Flyv) is trailblazing a brand-new model for European aviation, focused on marrying the dependability of airline operations with the flexibility of on-demand air services, to seamlessly "offer a scalable and worldwide utilizable business model.”
Headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, Flyv combines advanced technologies and innovative business strategies. Proprietary AI algorithms are its ‘secret sauce', enabling it to construct custom-made flight networks on decentralized air transport routes, adjusting schedules based on passenger demand and operational constraints. The result? More sustainable and efficient operations, which are adaptable to its passengers' needs.
Flyv is committing to enhancing connectivity in rural areas of Europe and later worldwide, by utilizing smaller, more accessible airports. The strategic use of the TECNAM P2012 Traveller, a nine-seat commuter aircraft with impressive short-runway performance, ensures efficient and environmentally-conscious operations.
MoU with Electra Aircraft for 100 eSTOL Commuter Aircraft
Flyv believes that the future of aviation extends to hybrid and electric solutions. It is eager to take to the skies with the nine-seat hybrid/electric eSTOL Electra from the USA's Electra.aero.
Flyv CEO Anton Lutz recently witnessed the demonstration of Electra’s 'Goldfinch' technology at Manassas Regional Airport, VA and the company is making further progress on its MoU for 100 Electras.
“Our ambitions at flyv aren't confined to the aviation sector alone. “We envision a broader expansion into the overall transportation ecosystem," says Flyv Managing Director Tomislav Lang. "This is why we're excited about MOVE, an opportunity to explore innovative concepts like Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and our version, AMAAS - Aviation as a Service.”
Flyv's environmentally-conscious approach to air travel is not just about minimizing CO2 emissions. “By avoiding new infrastructure construction and leveraging existing facilities, we bypass the typical 1,000 to 5,000 tons of CO2 per km produced in road and railway construction. This approach significantly reduces our carbon footprint and leads the way in sustainable air travel,” he added.
Founded in 2020 by a team of seasoned airline industry experts, Flyv is primed for success with its new venture. "We aim to 'right-size' aircraft for their mission and environmental suitability," says Lang. He adds, "Once our model has been launched in Europe, we'd love to take the model into intercontinental markets."
"We believe our unique, customer-centric, demand-driven approach to air travel, combined with strategic OEM partnerships and innovative technology, will revolutionize how people travel," says Co-founder and CEO Anton Lutz. Flyv is ready to shape the future of aviation, one sustainable flight at a time.
