🌍✈️ Exciting News in Sustainable Aviation! ✈️🌍 The first publicly available international electric flights are now open for booking! 🚀 During a two-month trial period from July 1 to August 31, passengers can book zero-emissions air travel between airports in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. The flights, operated by the Pipistrel Velis Electro have flight times from 16 to 26 minutes. 🌱 This initiative, part of the Electrifly collaboration, looks to pave the way for low or zero-emission electric aircraft connecting European hubs. The aircraft is small, seating just one passenger alongside the pilot. This trial is a significant step in demonstrating the viability of electric aviation for short-haul flights.🌿 The aviation industry is one of the largest contributors to global carbon emissions, accounting for about 2-3% of total emissions. The Pipistrel Velis Electro is a pioneering electric aircraft, showcasing advancements in battery technology and electric propulsion systems. Successful trials could lead to wider adoption of electric aircraft, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of short-haul flights. We still have a long way to go but we can expect longer flight routes and larger aircraft, hopefully making electric aviation a viable option. ✈️ https://lnkd.in/ga_yn_5F #SustainableAviation #ElectricFlights #GreenTravel #InnovationInAviation #FutureOfTravel
