Initiatives
We want to spread the word about regional electric aviation. We see it as a groundbreaking way of transport that has the power to transform the Nordics into a borderless region. These are the initiatives that we are part of.
Ongoing initiatives

Earlier initiatives
Electric Flight Tour 2021 (Elflygsturnén)
Sweden’s, and maybe the world’s longest electric aviation tour, was conducted in September 2021. It took place between Gothenburg at the west coast of Sweden är the Iceland Gotland at the east cost of Sweden. Six airports had longer stops and seminars with stakeholders and politicians. The airports with seminars were Halmstad, Ljungbyhed, Kristianstad, Växjö, Kalmar-Öland and Visby.
The electric air tour was initiated by the Nordic Network of Electric Aviation and The Aeroclub in Gothenburg. The Swedish regional airports (SRF) were also part of the tour and presented their work in the Green Airport project.
The electric flight tour was carried out to let people fly electric, but also to discuss how regional electric aviation could benefit the region in a couple of years. The Swedish Regional Airports did a film of the tour (except the last stop at Visby) and it can be viewed here (unfortunately it is in Swedish).
