Royal Schiphol Group

ZeroAvia, Royal Schiphol Group, Rotterdam the Hague Innovation Airport and Rotterdam the Hague Airport have partnered to implement the first zero-emission commercial passenger flight between Rotterdam The Hague Airport and London with 19 seater aircraft in 2024. This collaboration is making zero emissions flight a reality for passengers in the first half of this decade! The aircraft, currently in development by ZeroAvia, will fly entirely on Hydrogen. Zero Avia has focused its R&D on developing a hydrogen-electric powertrain - using hydrogen fuel cells to power electric motors - as a viable way to tackle aviation’s climate change impacts at scale.
Hydrogen-electric propulsion will also reduce operating costs, making routes more appealing to airlines, airports, and passengers. With the hydrogen-electric system pioneered by ZeroAvia, the only emission produced is water vapor at manageable temperatures, enabling sustainable flights.
Aviation accounts for 2% of global CO2 emission today, particularity harmful at high altitudes, and is expected to increase by 2-4x in the coming years. Airlines and governments are under high pressure to decarbonise this sector, with many actors making "net-zero" commitments by 2040-2050 such as IAG, Qantas etc. To address the lack of feasible and economically viable solutions available, ZeroAvia provides an integrated and powerful solution for the aviation industry. Through strategic partnerships, this solution combines best-in-class 3rd party components such as electric motor, inverter, H2 fuel cells and hydrogen tank with their disruptive technology. The powertrain can be retrofitted to existing, already certified airframes, significantly lowering certification hurdles. In addition, ZeroAvia aims at sourcing green hydrogen produced by electrolysis directly on-site through partnerships to significantly lower fuel costs for airlines.
