Widerøe has signed a MOU with Embraer that will
see the companies working together to establish commercially
viable, sustainable, emission free aviation.
The companies will collaborate to define
requirements such as infrastructure, ground handling, aircraft
performance (range, speed, etc.) and cargo space etc.
The agreement builds on existing Embraer projects
with Widerøe such as ‘Project Zero’ – a collaboration with
Rolls-Royce to study a truly zero emission aircraft (zero NOx and
other greenhouse gases) of around 50 seats.
Widerøe to work with Embraer to establish commercially viable, sustainable, emission free aviation.
Arjan Meijer, President and CEO Embraer Commercial
Aviation, said, “We’re proud of our association with Widerøe, who
have become a powerful voice globally in the drive for sustainable
aviation, and were recently named ‘Eco-Airline of The Year’ by Air
Transport World. Widerøe’s expertise in, and commitment to,
sustainable aviation is unrivalled. The experience they and
subsequent group members bring to the program will be a key
foundation of Energia’s successful development.”
The Energia Advisory Group will help accelerate
time to market and ultimately inform the choice of which Energia
concept will come to market first.
The work with Widerøe will look at all aspects of
developing and operating 19-50 seat Energia concept aircraft.
“We established Widerøe Zero because we need the
freedom to think afresh. There are entrenched ways of doing things
in our industry, but running a zero-emissions fleet is going to be
completely different,” said Andreas Kollbye Aks, former Director
of Strategy at Widerøe, and CEO of Widerøe Zero. “Embraer’s
approach to sustainable aviation most closely aligns with our own,
and this collaboration will get into the real-world detail, to
shape the technology that will make Zero missions flight a
reality.”
