Airways Aviation Signs as Launch Customer for VoltAero's Cassio Hybrid-Electric Aircraft
The pilot-training organization, based at Montpelier in the south of France, will help VoltAero plan for operations of its Cassio family of hybrid-electric aircraft and also develop training for pilots.
Pilot-training group Airways Aviation will collaborate with hybrid-electric aircraft developer VoltAero in the development of its Cassio family of aircraft. Under a memorandum of understanding signed on June 25, the two French companies agreed that to work together to develop plans for using the four-, six- and 10-seat Cassio 330, 480, and 600 models for scheduled and on-demand flights in southern France.
Airways Aviation, which is based at Montpellier-Méditerranée Airport, also intends to use the fixed-wing Cassio aircraft to develop pilot-training courses for electric aircraft. It intends to develop a flight simulator for the type and also build a syllabus to include topics such as airports and ground infrastructure.
