Key Takeaways:

ZeroAvia and AGS Airports have partnered to explore and develop hydrogen fuel infrastructure for commercial aviation, initially focusing on enabling zero-emission flights between Aberdeen and Glasgow.
ZeroAvia is developing hydrogen-electric powertrains, such as the ZA600 engine, aiming for certification by 2025 for 9-19 seat aircraft, with plans for a flight demonstration and subsequent commercial routes from Glasgow.
AGS Airports will serve as a key testbed for hydrogen flight, addressing challenges in production, delivery, and storage of hydrogen on-site to significantly reduce carbon emissions, noise, and air quality impacts across its operations.
