VoltAero has signed an agreement for 15 Cassio 330 electric-hybrid aircraft and an option for another 15, to be acquired by HM Aerospace Sdn Bhd for pilot training at Malaysia’s premier flight academy after EASA certification and validation by the Civil Aviation Authorities of Malaysia.
“This agreement, formalized at the Paris Air Show, brings a new dimension to VoltAero’s orderbook for its Cassio electric-hybrid airplanes by expanding their use – together with Halim Mazmin Group – to the all-important training role for professional pilots, and expanding it over the Asia-Pacific region, where pilots are in great demand,” said the company in a press release. “It also establishes a strategic relationship with the Halim Mazmin Group of companies, whose business interests cover shipping, aviation, education, hospitality and tourism. The relationship will lead to the establishment of an ecosystem that serves the electric-hybrid aviation sector in Malaysia and across the Asia-Pacific region.”
With the HM Aerospace agreement, VoltAero’s Cassio backlog has expanded to more than 280 orders, agreements and commitments with customers focused on the regional air transportation, air mobility and business aviation sectors.
