Key Takeaways:

ZeroAvia and AGS Airports are partnering to develop hydrogen fuel infrastructure for commercial flights, initially focusing on routes between Aberdeen and Glasgow, with a flight demonstration planned by 2025.
ZeroAvia is developing hydrogen-electric powertrains, like the ZA600, targeting 9-19 seat aircraft with a 300-mile range by 2025 and larger 40-80 seat aircraft with a 700-mile range by 2027.
This initiative aims to significantly reduce aviation's carbon emissions (Scope 3), noise, and local air quality impacts, with AGS also exploring hydrogen for ground operations.

ZeroAvia, one of the leaders in the quest for zero-emission solutions for commercial aviation and AGS Airports have established an agreement to explore the development of infrastructure that will allow hydrogen fuel for aircraft traveling between Aberdeen and Glasgow airports.

AGS, based in the U.K., owns and operates Aberdeen, Glasgow, and Southampton airports. The team is working closely with ZeroAvia’s specialist airport infrastructure team to assess the opportunities for hydrogen production onsite, as well as establishing commercial air routes.
