PAL‑V confirms 100-strong order with Aviterra for its Liberty Flying Car to take flight in the EMEA region

Dubai-based Aviter­ra has con­firmed a deal with PAL‑V to bring fly­ing cars to the Mid­dle East and Africa. The agree­ment includes more than 100 of PAL‑V Lib­er­ty fly­ing cars.

The PAL‑V Lib­er­ty, known as the world’s first real fly­ing car due to the com­bi­na­tion of a gyro­plane and a car, address­es the need to trav­el inde­pen­dent from (con­gest­ed) roads and enhance trav­el flex­i­bil­i­ty. With a flight range of 500 km and a max­i­mum air­speed of 180 km/h, PAL‑V says the Lib­er­ty short­ens com­mute and trav­el times.

Aviter­ra is run and backed by one of the founders of Jetex, a glob­al leader in exec­u­tive avi­a­tion, sees PAL‑V’s appeal in its last-mile solu­tion and region­al air mobil­i­ty offer­ings.

Mouhanad Wadaa, Man­ag­ing Direc­tor of Aviter­ra, said: “The PAL‑V is the per­fect tool for our cus­tomers’ region­al trav­el require­ments, offer­ing a com­bi­na­tion of fly­ing and dri­ving. It’s tru­ly an inno­va­tion that will change mobil­i­ty as we know it.

”While run­ning a busi­ness avi­a­tion com­pa­ny, we’ve always kept a close eye on the emerg­ing Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty indus­try, high­light­ing the unique oppor­tu­ni­ty PAL‑V presents. PAL‑V’s long-stand­ing pres­ence and adher­ence to exist­ing reg­u­la­tions allow our cus­tomers to safe­ly Fly­Drive using exist­ing air and road infra­struc­ture.”

Wadaa adds: “Fur­ther­more, PAL- V is the only play­er that com­bines fly­ing and dri­ving into one vehi­cle. No oth­er play­er in the mar­ket offers this com­bi­na­tion and can real­is­ti­cal­ly deliv­er the vehi­cles in the near future.”

PAL‑V is set­ting up region­al offices around the world to grow its fly­ing car busi­ness. These region­al offices are hubs for PAL‑V’s sales, main­te­nance, flight train­ing, and assem­bly loca­tions.

PAL‑V’s CEO and Founder, Robert Dinge­manse, wel­comes the part­ner­ship. He said: ”Aviter­ra and Mr. Wadaa have vast expe­ri­ence in avi­a­tion, under­stand our cer­ti­fi­ca­tion process, and have an excel­lent rep­u­ta­tion in the busi­ness avi­a­tion indus­try. They are a strong part­ner to sup­port our sales and mar­ket­ing activ­i­ties in the Mid­dle East and Africa, which is head­ed by our VP Mid­dle East, Eng. Khalil Malaeb.

”In the com­ing months, we have more updates on devel­op­ment and cer­ti­fi­ca­tion suc­cess­es, con­firm­ing our lead in the emerg­ing AAM mar­ket.”

Log­gia Invest­ment, the invest­ment arm of Aviter­ra, has also made a strate­gic invest­ment in PAL‑V and estab­lished part­ner­ship for the Mid­dle East and Africa region.
