Key Takeaways:

Elfly has established its new facility at Sandefjord Airport, Torp, Norway, for building and testing its 19-seat all-electric seaplane, Noemi.
The Noemi prototype is expected to fly in 2026, with market entry targeted for 2029, initially serving Norway's fjords and lakes before global expansion.
The project, funded by private investors and significant Norwegian government grants, aims to contribute to emission-free aviation and aligns with Norway's 2040 domestic aviation emissions target.

The manufacturer of a 19-seat, all-electric seaplane has picked the location where it will build its flagship design.

Elfly, the developer of Noemi (short for no emissions), moved into new facilities last week at Sandefjord Airport, Torp (ENTO), about 70 miles south of Oslo, Norway. Torp is the largest privately-owned airport in the country, and Elfly will use the site to build its first full-scale Noemi prototype, as well as for testing and validation.
