Germany, 06.23.2026 – Green Flyway and MD Aircraft GmbH are pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing a framework for cooperation to accelerate the development, testing, and implementation of electric aviation technologies and supporting infrastructure within the Green Flyway initiative. The agreement marks an important step toward strengthening sustainable regional air mobility in Northern Europe and supporting the transition to zero-emission aviation solutions.
Advancing Sustainable Regional Connectivity
Mid-Scandinavia faces a growing need for resilient, low-emission transport solutions across dispersed communities. Electric aviation is recognized as a key enabler for improving regional connectivity, reducing environmental impact, and enhancing transport resilience.
The Green Flyway initiative aims to establish a leading Nordic testbed for electric aviation technologies, bringing together industry, public authorities, and research institutions to support innovation and real-world deployment.
Scope of Collaboration
Under the MoU, Green Flyway and MD Aircraft GmbH will collaborate on testbed activities, market development, and ecosystem building, and Engagement with regional stakeholders, including private sector partners, public authorities, and academic institutions. Green Flyway and MDA are committed to the advancement of the regional electric aviation ecosystem and contributing to the broader implementation of electric Regional Air Mobility solutions across Mid-Scandinavia and beyond.
A Shared Vision for the Future of Flight
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the decarbonization of aviation. By combining Green Flyway’s regional testbed capabilities with MD Aircraft’s aircraft development expertise, the partnership aims to accelerate the introduction of practical electric aviation solutions in Europe.
Further updates will be provided as the collaboration progresses.
