Airways Aviation Orders Five eDA40 Aircraft

Airways Aviation, has signed an agreement with Diamond Aircraft to acquire five all-electric eDA40 training aircraft, marking another key milestone in the group’s commitment to sustainable aviation and innovation in pilot training.

The eDA40 will be the first EASA/FAA Part 23 certified all-electric aircraft tailored specifically for the flight training market, according to the company. With its electric propulsion system, reduced noise footprint, and significantly lower direct operating costs, the eDA40 aligns with Airways Aviation’s strategic sustainability goals.

“The addition of the eDA40 to our fleet reflects a deliberate and forward-looking strategy,” added Alexandre Alves, Group Chief Commercial Officer of Airways Aviation. “As global demand for pilots continues to rise, our clients and airline partners expect training organisations to lead on efficiency, technology, and sustainability.”

Airways Aviation and Diamond Aircraft have maintained a longstanding relationship, with Diamond aircraft forming a core part of the academy’s training fleet in multiple locations. The introduction of electric aircraft represents the next phase in that collaboration.
