ELECTRON Aerospace, an electric aircraft developer based in the Netherlands, has signed up two new customers for its future battery-powered aircraft.
Air2E and Hopscotch Air, two air taxi operators based, respectively, in Berlin, Germany, and Farmingdale, New York, have placed orders for the Electron 5 aircraft. The aircraft is still under development and not expected to enter service until nearer 2028. With these two deals, the exact breakdown of which hasn’t yet been made public, ELECTRON Aerospace has already accumulated orders worth almost €200 million. This includes previous orders placed by Australian electric aircraft operator FlyOnE and Mint Air, a Korean startup.
