Germany's Rheinland Air Service (RAS) is buying five all-electric Bye Aerospace eFlyer 800 aircraft and will act as a reseller for the new model in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Under a deposit-backed purchase agreement announced with Colorado-based Bye on July 19, the European aviation services group also will provide maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for the eFlyers. 

“We are proud to be investing in the future of sustainable aviation and to be supporting Bye Aerospace in the transformation of flying,” said RAS chief executive Johannes Schaesberg. “The eFlyer800 with its remarkable economy and flight performance will support the European Market while balancing the amount of carbon emissions.”
