Hydrogen-electric commercial air service could start between London and Rotterdam in 2024, based on a partnership announced last week involving propulsion system developer ZeroAvia, the Royal Schiphol Group, Rotterdam The Hague Airport, and the airport's RTHI innovation foundation. The partners say they have reached advanced talks with prospective airlines to operate the flights with the 19-seat Dornier 228 twin turboprop that ZeroAvia uses as a technology demonstrator.
