Global commercial aircraft and helicopter marketing specialist Blueberry Aviation plans to be a distributor for Swiss eVTOL aircraft developer Dufour Aerospace. In an announcement on April 4, Dufour said that Monaco-based Blueberry has agreed to acquire 100 examples of each of its Aero2 and Aero3 hybrid-electric tiltwing aircraft. 

Plans called for Blueberry to market the new models as part of trade-in deals with existing helicopter operators, and also to make loan or leasing arrangements for customers. Dufour sees the collaboration as a way to further develop its customer base and sign up launch customers for aircraft that it says will combine the benefits of VTOL and conventional STOL runway operations.
