Australian air transport group Aviation Logistics has ordered 10 of AMSL Aero’s Vertiia hydrogen fuel cell-powered eVTOL aircraft with an option for 10 more, the companies announced on Sunday. The deposit-backed order represents the first for the Sydney-based manufacturer, which has been collaborating with local aeromedical group CareFlight to develop rural and regional healthcare applications for eVTOL aircraft such as the Vertiia.

Aviation Logistics offers regional flights for passenger and cargo transport, as well as charter services and aeromedical flights, through subsidiaries such as Air Link, AirMed, and Chartair. The company says it plans to begin operating the Vertiia aircraft as early as 2027, pending type certification and other approvals. It has seven bases across Australia in Melbourne, Sydney, Dubbo, Brisbane, Alice Springs, Katherine, and Darwin, and also operates several aircraft maintenance facilities.
