Italian emergency medical flight operator Avionord is investing in eVTOL aircraft developer Manta and has provisionally agreed to add up to 15 of its hybrid-electric ANN vehicles to its fleet starting in 2026. The amount of the investment has not been disclosed, but Avionord will hold equity in Manta Aircraft Italia, joining a group of five other technology companies now partnering in the program, including YCom, BSim, Powerflex, Pantecnica, and another undisclosed backer.
Milan-based Avionord, which was formed in 2008, operates a fleet of Bombardier Learjets and Leonardo AW109 helicopters for services that include rapid interventions to get medical personnel to accident scenes, human organ transportation, and executive charter flights. It will work with Manta to investigate the potential for eVTOL aircraft to be deployed in these missions.
