Volotea and Air Nostrum have announced the acquisition of a minority stake in Dante Aeronautical (Dante), thus becoming the first strategic investor.
L'revolutionary agreement between Volotea, Air Nostrum and Dante confirms the Strong interest from traditional airlines in investing in innovative, cutting-edge technology, allowing Low-cost, zero-emission flights.
Dante, whose focus is the conversion of combustion aircraft to electric aircraft, offers a cost-effective and financially sustainable flight model that is a zero-emission solution for aviation operators.
The investment shows how the most forward-looking airlines are not simply waiting for regulators and governments to impose restrictions on conventional aircraft. Instead, carriers are working to Accelerate the transition to new solutions.
Dovetail and Dante are leading the aviation industry, locally and more broadly, into a new sustainable era by enabling carriers to operate commercially viable regional routes with zero-emission electric aircraft. The companies are working closely together and are on track to Certify an innovative new technique that will convert a combustion-powered Cessna Caravan into a battery-electric aircraft, whose Takeoff is planned for 2025. Other aircraft models will also be converted later, which can be powered by a hydrogen engine.
Volotea and Air Nostrum's investment in Dante and Dovetail follows recent successful announcements with other airline operators in the market such as Monte, the green aircraft lessor, and a partnership with Regional Express (Rex) Airlines, Australia's largest regional airline.
Monte recently pledged to purchase 50 converted aircraft from Dovetail, particularly battery-powered Cessna Caravans and hydrogen-powered Beechcraft King Air aircraft.
