The future of regional aviation is electric.
We help airports and airfields prepare for the electrification of aviation.
Opportunities and challenges
Electric flight gives airports a new role – if the infrastructure is ready in time.
Electric aircraft make short regional connections and flight training quieter, cleaner and cheaper to operate. Turning that into traffic requires charging infrastructure on the ground – and that comes with long lead times.
Opportunities
- New regional connections and more training traffic
- Own energy from PV and storage cuts costs and creates revenue
- Charging for aircraft, cars, buses and trucks at one site
Challenges
- Certification timing of larger electric aircraft still open
- Long lead times for grid connection and permits
- Investment before demand is secured
Our approach
A realistic view of the market and pragmatic steps for your energy and charging infrastructure.
Electric flight starts in training and with small regional aircraft. When and how fast traffic grows is open. Those preparing today plan in scenarios and secure first what takes longest.
1
Develop demand scenarios
Network, routes and resulting charging demand as low, base and high case.
2
Request grid connection early
With a robust power figure. This is the most time-critical step.
3
Build for expansion
A flexible architecture that enables CCS fast charging and the upgrade to megawatt charging (MCS).
4
Grow with demand
Add PV, battery storage and charging points in modules.

Example project
The RAM analysis in six steps
Proven at commercial airports of different sizes. Typical duration four to eight weeks.
01
Introduction
Aircraft programmes, ranges, charging standards
02
Flight movements
Analysis of your current traffic data
03
Potential
Target network of electrically reachable destinations
04
Scenarios
Exemplary flight schedule, low, base and high case
05
Infrastructure
Charging points, grid connection capacity, apron layout
06
Result
Roadmap and recommendations
Example from practice: For the general aviation area of an international airport, the analysis produced a target network of 25 destinations, 5 MCS and 6 CCS2 charging points and around 3.7 MW of grid connection capacity.
