ZeroAvia has announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with FEAM Aero to introduce a network capable of supporting operators in converting their existing vehicle fleets to zero-emission alternatives.
A provider of MRO and aviation maintenance services; FEAM Aero will begin exploring the feasibility of support introduction at its wide range of over 50 locations to facilitate new and upcoming technology from ZeroAvia.
James Peck, Chief Customer Officer, ZeroAvia, said:Fuel cell and electric propulsion systems will keep aircraft flying longer, but the improved economics and drastically reduced environmental impact also mean that there will be more flying, so there is a big opportunity for MRO providers in this transition.
ZeroAvia needs to partner to build the network that can support our customers who are already planning their switch away from combustion engines and FEAM Aero has an exceptional track record of service and an uncompromising focus on safety and quality, as well as strong alignment with ZeroAvia’s values.
As part of the agreement, FEAM Aero will also investigate the establishment of a green hydrogen production facility at one of its locations in the United States.
The MOU comes shortly after FEAM Aero’s recent servicing of ZeroAvia’s second powertrain design for passenger aircraft, including the Dash 8 and CRJ aircraft.
Dan Allawat, Chief Strategy Officer, said:We like to say that aviation is an industry where staying in motion is the only thing that matters, but aviation faces a number of challenges that potentially threaten growth.
ZeroAvia is a leading innovator in clean aviation that is rapidly advancing towards certification for a system that can solve some of these challenges, so we’re excited to explore what this means for MRO and training in the years to come.
