Swedavia has decided to make Malmö Airport the test arena for Heart Aerospace’s ES-30 electric aircraft. The full-scale aircraft model will be tested and used to demonstrate taxiing and charging at the airport. Also taking part in the test activities alongside Swedavia are Heart Aerospace, the airlines BRA and SAS, and the Swedish battery developer Northvolt.
To encourage companies and other organisations operating at Swedavia’s airports to become fossil-free and start refuelling with HVO, fossil-free diesel, on January 1 Swedavia introduced a special HVO 100 incentive at Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Göteborg Landvetter Airport. The goal is now for all operations at every Swedavia airport to be fossil-free by 2025.
For many years Swedavia has been involved in and driven the transition to fossil-free aviation. Swedavia is now taking part in study on electric air route between regional airports Umeå Airport and Åre Östersund Airport.
