In Switzerland, Synhelion and Pilatus Aircraft have entered into a strategic cooperation with the aim of accelerating the scaling of solar fuels for aviation.
The Swiss aircraft manufacturer wants to use Synhelion’s solar fuels for its own flight operations and also offer them to its customers in the medium term.
To date, Pilatus has developed, built, and delivered more than 4,400 airplanes worldwide. In the future, the company would like to use Synhelion’s solar fuel not only for its own aircraft fleet – Pilatus’ customers will also have the opportunity to actively defossilize their air travel with SAF
As part of the partnership, Pilatus also became a shareholder of Synhelion in April 2024.
Hansueli Loosli, Chairman of the Pilatus Board of Directors, said: “Pilatus has been committed to sustainability and energy efficiency for many years, for example in our production processes and new buildings. We are firmly convinced that sustainable aviation fuel will be an integral part of aviation’s future and we would like to make a further essential contribution.”
