Luxaviation has signed an MoU with Flugauto to help provide
regulatory, safety, and training-management services to the VTOL
startup company. Flugauto’s company vision includes development of
the technology, operations, and infrastructure associated with its
VTOL vehicle and its ability to deliver goods. Frank Noppel, CEO
of Flugauto said:
“We are excited here at Flugauto to partner with Luxaviation,
with their tremendous regulatory and operational experience, to
bring our innovative VTOL technology to the European markets and
disrupt the global logistics space”.
While discussions surrounding the VTOL market continue,
Luxaviation noted existing hurdles within the industry.
“The VTOL business, which is changing the way we perceive
logistics, mobility in general and specifically aviation, is
technically advanced in hardware manufacturing and the
development of applications, but the [VTOL] industry lacks
knowledge and experience of regulations, pilot training, and
safety quality management,” said Luxaviation CEO Patrick Hansen. “Luxaviation can close this
loophole with certified services, enabling Flugauto and the VTOL
industry to provide a seamless and state-of-the-art service
offer.”
Christophe Lapierre, Chief Commercial Officer of Luxaviation Group
added:
“We are thrilled to contribute to the innovative VTOL market
and help develop the evolution of the logistics, mobility and
aviation worldwide. Entering the VTOL market and developing it
as an additional business line of Luxaviation Group, after
private jet and helicopter aircraft operations, is a logical
consequence for Luxaviation as one of the largest private
aircraft operators worldwide”.
