RVL Aviation plans to operate Cessna Caravan aircraft converted to run on ZeroAvia's hydrogen-electric propulsion systems.

Cargo flight group RVL Aviation plans to introduce Cessna Grand Caravan 208B aircraft retrofitted with ZeroAvia’s hydrogen-electric propulsion systems to its fleet. Announcing an agreement on May 13, the companies said the converted single turboprop aircraft will enter service on domestic UK routes after ZeroAvia secures the required certification for the 600-kilowatt ZA600 powertrain.

RVL, which is based at East Midlands Airport, will lease the Caravans from asset management group Monte. The announcement did not specify how many aircraft have been ordered or when they will be retrofitted and available to start commercial flights.
