At EVIA AERO, we are not waiting for the big players in the industry to do their thing - we are taking matters into our own hands by enabling airports to service electric and hybrid-electric aircraft while working closely with different aircraft OEMs. In this way, we ensure a solid 100% green infrastructure that will interface seamlessly with tomorrow’s aircraft. I am proud to support EVIA’s vision of truly sustainable aviation. We will provide sustainable, emission-free air travel – sooner than you might think.”
