Volar Air Mobility Holding Company Limited (Volar) and Etihad Aviation Training LLC (EAT) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the inaugural Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Symposium of ICAO. The partnership focuses on advancing sustainable aviation through advanced electric aircraft operations.
Together, EAT, a leading Aviation Training centre at the cutting-edge of innovation, and Volar, a Hong Kong-based green air mobility technology company, are looking to “propel the adoption of Green Aviation alternatives in the UAE.”
The agreement seeks to establish a hub for research and development in sustainable aviation practices that can drive the industry forward. During the course of the partnership, both organisations will collaborate with the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to align with the latest regulatory standards.
Speaking on the announcement, Mr. Saif Aldarmaki, Founding Partner of Volar Air Mobility Industries, said:
“This agreement with Etihad Aviation Training represents a significant step forward in our mission to revolutionise air mobility. By working together, we will push the boundaries of what’s possible in electric aviation and pave the way for a greener, more efficient future.”
EAT shared details of the next steps for the collaboration on LinkedIn, describing training programmes, data analytics, and continued partnership with aviation authorities to support seamless operations for the electric aviation sector.
Earlier this year in May, EAT also partnered with Archer Aviation Partners working to support the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft leader’s efforts to establish urban aircraft mobility operations across the UAE.
