Designed for passengers, cargo and emergency services, Odys Aviation's aircraft will be able to deliver all-electric propulsion for 320 kilometres, with a hybrid-electric range of more than 1,200 kilometres.

MintAir's service will initially cover existing domestic routes and leverage regional airports, later expanding to new infrastructure and longer routes made accessible by Odys's vertical take off and landing capability.

The proximity to other innovative entities within the aviation and aerospace industry will help cement Odys' position as a major player among the local community of aerospace startups, the company says.
