HEART AEROSPACE TO EXPLORE EARLY USE CASE FOR ELECTRIC ES-30 AIRPLANE WITH ÅLAND ISLANDS

On 23 March Swedish electric airplane maker Heart Aerospace and the Government of Åland announced a collaboration to explore the use of Heart’s electric regional airplane, the ES-30, in developing sustainable air services for the Baltic Sea group of islands

Åland is an autonomous part of Finland with a Swedish speaking population. It is located in the Baltic Sea between two expansive economic regions, the south of Finland and the Stockholm region on Sweden’s east coast. Åland’s capital Mariehamn is located less than 150 km from the Swedish capital Stockholm and Finland’s third largest city Turku and less than 300 km from Finland’s capital Helsinki and second largest city Tampere, which makes it an ideal early use case for Heart Aerospace’s ES-30.

“This is a significant step in the development of the ES-30 as it allows us to focus on the operating infrastructure required in support of zero-emissions flying out of Mariehamn. We look forward to working together with the Government of Åland to make this a reality.” said Simon Newitt, chief commercial officer at Heart Aerospace.
