TrueNoord has partnered with battery-electric aircraft developer Elysian Aircraft to support the latter's regional electric aircraft, the E9X.
The partnership will focus on sessions covering financing and leasing topics, such as operating costs, residual value and after-sales support for the E9X aircraft.
The regional lessor said these sessions confirm its interest to “investigate these aircraft” and will allow for greater discussion between stakeholders across the sustainable aviation ecosystem.
“The future of aviation will not be built by technology alone, but by the strength of an ecosystem working together," said Elysian Aircraft co-founder and co-CEO Daniel Rosen Jacobsen. "Through our partnerships with airlines and now with TrueNoord, who as a lessor of regional aircraft understands the dynamics of a 90-passenger aircraft better than anyone, we ensure that E9X is not only technologically viable, but it also addresses commercial and financial expectations of the industry.”
“We strongly believe that lessors including TrueNoord are an integral part of the future technology aircraft ecosystem by enabling the provision of optimised leasing solutions for our lessees,” said TrueNoord CEO Anne-Bart Tieleman. “This will generate the revenue needed for the new generation of OEMs, including Elysian, to both thrive and reward their investors for the risk they take to develop the new aircraft.”
