European regional operator flyvbird has entered into a strategic partnership with The Advanced Air Mobility Institute. Company founders Tomislav Lang and Anton Lutz say that this collaboration aims to redefine regional air mobility by offering innovative, sustainable and personalised flight experiences to underserved communities.

flyvbird addresses the growing need for alternative transportation solutions, particularly in decentralised rural areas where convenient and fast travel connections are limited. By focusing on providing faster connections, simplified travel journeys and arrivals closer to the destination, flyvbird promises to revolutionise regional air travel within a 25 km radius from exclusive departure points accessible only to Flyv's customers, utilising existing infrastructure.

Lang states: “This partnership with the AAM Institute marks a significant milestone for flyvbird as we continue to redefine regional air mobility. By leveraging the Institute's expertise in advanced air mobility, we can accelerate the integration of sustainable, on-demand air travel into the broader AAM ecosystem. Together, we are committed to offering faster, more accessible and environmentally friendly travel solutions, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and reach of regional transportation networks.”

flyvbird's advantage in the market lies in its mathematical modelling software algorithm, flyvAI, which pools decentral traffic streams and optimises on-demand commercial offers. This technology allows flyvbird to offer the fastest decentral connections at competitive prices compared to trains and cars, capturing a significant portion of the market and providing a compelling investment opportunity in the aviation industry.

“First, middle and last mile passenger transport is very rarely 100 per cent carried out by aviation means alone,” explains Institute founder and president Dan Sloat. “Advanced air mobility seeks to complement and seamlessly integrate with multi-modal solutions. flyvbird is leading the effort to reduce friction and pain points during inevitable mode changes, and we are eager to support such pragmatic and data driven approaches.”

The partnership between AAM Institute and flyvbird aims to drive sustainable travel, efficient operations and advanced technology in the regional air travel sector. By combining their expertise and innovative solutions, both organisations hope to optimise regional air travel and disrupt the traditional airline industry. flyvbird has signed a letter of intent for 25 Alice aircraft with Eviation Aircraft, with options for a further 25.
