Kassel Airport starts countdown for emission -free regional flights!

At Kassel Airport something is happening! Together with the Bremen company Evia Aero, the airport has now signed an exciting agreement to lay the foundation for emission -free regional flight traffic. The goal? Building a far -reaching network for electrical flights in Europe that could shape tomorrow's aviation. The main focus is on the use of green electricity, which is to be provided by a newly established photovoltaic system at the airport.

The planned project not only includes the photovoltaic system, but also a battery storage system and the construction of loading points. This infrastructure is intended to ensure the energy supply for electrically operated aircraft. Florian Kruse, Managing Director of Evia Aero, emphasizes that the photovoltaic system plays a central role in energy supply and sets the course for a sustainable future of aviation.

opportunities for the region

Lars Ernst, Managing Director of Kassel Airport, is optimistic and sees new development opportunities for the region in the project. Uwe Becker, who is Hesse's Secretary of Finance, also emphasizes the relevance of electrical flying and explains: "Electrical flying is the future of the regional air trip." A gratifying turn, especially in times when sustainable options are becoming more important in many areas of life.

A detailed investigation by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) confirms the potential for regional electrical air traffic at Kassel Airport. The central location of Kassel in Germany is ideal for electrically operated aircraft, which, as we know, have a limited reach. The market launch of the first electrically operated passenger aircraft is expected in the coming years, and the cooperation between Kassel Airport and Evia Aero is preparing the region for this development.

A look into the future

The vision goes on. According to DLR, a team of 45 scientists is working on the development of climate -friendly commercial aircraft as part of the Exact project. Here, concepts such as the D70-FC10 are filed, a hydrogen aircraft that can transport 70 passengers and offers a range of almost 2000 kilometers. The possibilities are great, because the new aircraft concepts could significantly reduce CO₂ emissions and thus make air traffic more environmentally friendly.

Research aims to reach emission -free aviation by 2050 by a significant decline in aircraft energy consumption by at least 50 percent. Innovative drive technologies such as hydrogen drives and hybrid systems are part of this sustainable Boeing. The integration of alternative energy sources could revolutionize aviation and at the same time make it more environmentally friendly.

The latest developments at Kassel Airport show that the aviation industry is in transition. Those responsible in Kassel have a good hand when it comes to securing the future of flying to the region. With a clear focus on sustainability and climate -friendly technologies, the Kassel airport becomes an important player in the emerging market of emission -free air traffic. Airliners.de and ffh.de report on these pioneering steps that open up new perspectives for aviation.

The time when we see travelers in emission -free aircraft is getting closer. And the Kassel Airport will certainly be on board!
