The UK’s Birmingham Airport has joined ZeroAvia’s campaign to establish the infrastructure to support hydrogen-powered regional airline flights. A partnership announced on February 20 will build on similar work being conducted with Scottish airport group AGS and with Rotterdam The Hague Airport in the Netherlands.

Birmingham Airport has allocated land to be used to establish hydrogen refueling infrastructure and conduct trial operations. The airport, which is in the central Midlands region of England, wants to be a hub for short-haul net zero carbon flights across the UK by the middle of this decade.
