CRISALION Mobility and Copenhagen Helicopter to develop passenger and cargo transport AAM services in Denmark

CRISALION Mobil­i­ty has signed a strate­gic agree­ment with Copen­hagen Heli­copter, where both com­pa­nies will analyse and devel­op plans that include pas­sen­ger and car­go trans­port solu­tions, as well as the man­age­ment of infra­struc­ture need­ed to facil­i­tate upcom­ing AAM ser­vices in the air and on the ground.

This includes the fea­si­bil­i­ty of future eVTOL air­craft oper­a­tions between the island of Fynia in Den­mark and some of the south-east­ern islands of the Scan­di­na­vian coun­try, improv­ing con­nec­tiv­i­ty for local com­mu­ni­ties.

This ini­tia­tive aims to pro­vide res­i­dents of the area with a sus­tain­able, fast and effi­cient trans­port alter­na­tive, improv­ing their access to essen­tial ser­vices and pro­mot­ing eco­nom­ic devel­op­ment in these areas.

Manuel Here­dia, CEO of CRISALION Mobil­i­ty, said: “At CRISALION Mobil­i­ty we are moti­vat­ed to join forces with com­pa­nies like Copen­hagen Heli­copter, which enrich our jour­ney towards the trans­for­ma­tion of advanced air mobil­i­ty.

“This agree­ment allows us to explore dif­fer­ent sce­nar­ios on which to improve our oper­a­tions and antic­i­pate future demands relat­ed to the way peo­ple move between local com­mu­ni­ties.”

Copen­hagen Heli­copter is a lead­ing com­pa­ny that has been tire­less­ly work­ing since 2015 to elec­tri­fy avi­a­tion in Den­mark.

Its vision is to offer elec­tric flights to all cit­i­zens as part of pub­lic trans­porta­tion, which in the future will help make it even more attrac­tive to live in less dense­ly pop­u­lat­ed areas by pro­vid­ing an exten­sive range of effi­cient trans­port options to schools, stud­ies, and work­places, regard­less of where one lives.

Copen­hagen Heli­copter has secured EU fund­ing in col­lab­o­ra­tion with, among oth­ers, Hans Chris­t­ian Ander­sen Air­port in Odense, Fynen and Uni­ver­si­ty of South­ern Den­mark.

Mar­tin W. Ander­sen, CEO of Copen­hagen Heli­copter, said the com­pa­ny has been mon­i­tor­ing more than 1,000 glob­al AAM projects, gath­er­ing data and knowl­edge on how to pro­vide peo­ple with a seam­less jour­ney from their actu­al depar­ture and des­ti­na­tion.

He said: “We have select­ed a hand­ful of air­craft projects to cor­po­rate fur­ther with in our con­tin­u­ous work of analysing and test­ing dif­fer­ent air­craft solu­tions along with its local part­ners, where we find the choice of tech­nolo­gies that CRISALION work with in the air and on the ground very inter­est­ing.

“We have con­fi­dence in CRISALION’s busi­ness mod­el and approach, and we believe its holis­tic approach to com­bine land- and air trans­porta­tion togeth­er can con­tribute to an effi­cient AAM in Den­mark, where increas­ing pop­u­la­tion growth also brings more con­ges­tion on the roads.”
