<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe EVIA AERO\u2013Stralis partnership focuses on practical applications of hydrogen electric propulsion technology, expands the possibilities for island hopping in the Mediterranean and in the North and Baltic Seas, replaces fossil fuels, supports tourism and the regional economies of coastal and island destinations, and enables future routes to key leisure and business destinations such as Usedom and Helgoland in Germany or Sardinia in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stralis is using two Bonanza-A36 aircraft as hydrogen-electric testbeds, aligned with its technology roadmap. The Bonanza platform, suitable for regional routes, will greatly benefit EVIA AERO and similar airlines worldwide. Their 200-kW hydrogenelectric demonstrator will also mark the first piloted hydrogen-electric flight in the Southern Hemisphere from Brisbane Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EVIA AERO vision is to implement a point-to-point network with multiple daily connections between European economic regions, operated entirely with aircraft powered by locally generated green electricity and hydrogen. Bonanza-A36 aircraft deliveries under this latest agreement are targeted to begin in 2029, aligning with the EVIA AERO rollout of decentralized hydrogen and PV-based airport energy systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EVIA AERO was Stralis\u2019 first European customer for their fleet of Beechcraft 1900D, a 19-seat regional hydrogen-electric aircraft. EVIA AERO plans to operate a sizable fleet of these aircraft on multiple regional routes across Europe, forming the backbone of its zero-emission network. This expanded partnership is a strong commercial signal that there is real, forward demand for hydrogen-electric aircraft in Europe\u2019s regional markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis partnership is particularly exciting because, beyond aircraft operations, EVIA AERO is building the energy and infrastructure ecosystem needed to make hydrogen-electric flight a reality,\u201d said Bob Criner, CEO and Co-Founder of Stralis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSimilar to our program in Australia, their holistic approach aims to support a new regional aviation model where aircraft are powered by locally produced green energy, significantly reducing emissions and long-term operating costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Our fleet will be airborne with certified aircraft for our customers at the earliest possible time. To achieve this, the Bonanza A36 is the ideal product,” said Florian Kruse, founder and CEO of EVIA AERO, adding, “The first routes of our regional airline will be island services and medical flights. For this, the Stralis product is perfectly suitable. Additionally, we can train our future pilots on this aircraft at an early stage.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Stralis Aircraft has announced a second major commitment from EVIA AERO, strengthening their partnership to bring zero-emission regional aviation to Europe. This new agreement represents the largest single-customer fleet of hydrogen-electric conversions to date, deepening EVIA AERO\u2019s role as one of Stralis\u2019 earliest and most significant European customers. EVIA AERO has committed to five Bonanza-A36-HE […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":33850,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[116,114],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-front-page-slider","category-international-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stralis-EVIA-Aero-Bonanza-R034-3-edit-2.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33849"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33849\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33852,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33849\/revisions\/33852"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
