“BETA Sells 3 ALIA VTOLs to Líder, Potential of Upto 50 Orders” 

Líder Avi­ação has placed a firm pur­chase with BETA Tech­nolo­gies for three of its ALIA VTOL air­craft, with options for up to 50 addi­tion­al air­craft — a mix of ALIA VTOL and ALIA CTOL, reports a press release. This order rep­re­sents BETA’s entry into the Brazil­ian mar­ket .

Líder is the old­est and largest busi­ness avi­a­tion com­pa­ny in Brazil. It plans to inte­grate next-gen­er­a­tion air­craft into its exist­ing fleet for pas­sen­ger char­ter oper­a­tions. 

The release explains, “The com­pa­ny cur­rent­ly offers air­craft char­ter­ing and man­age­ment, air­craft sales, off­shore heli­copter oper­a­tions for the oil & gas indus­try, air­craft main­te­nance, ground han­dling and air­port ser­vices and oth­er relat­ed ser­vices across Brazil. BETA’s elec­tric air­craft will add anoth­er plat­form to that port­fo­lio.”

Júnia Her­mont, CEO of Líder Avi­ação, com­ment­ed, “After years study­ing the elec­tric air­craft mar­ket, we chose to part­ner with BETA due to the clever con­cept of their air­craft, the matu­ri­ty of the project, an abil­i­ty to design and man­u­fac­ture the aircraft’s key com­po­nents and recharg­ing sys­tem, and the align­ment with our vision for the future.”

She con­tin­ued, “With its high reli­a­bil­i­ty, low cost and ver­ti­cal capa­bil­i­ties, the air­craft offers increased mobil­i­ty and access to intracity and region­al pas­sen­ger trans­port at a frac­tion of the cost, allow­ing res­i­dents to avoid traf­fic con­ges­tion, access time­ly med­ical care, and increase busi­ness’ ship­ping and car­go capa­bil­i­ties.”

In addi­tion to the pur­chase, Líder will serve as BETA’s autho­rised sales rep­re­sen­ta­tive in Brazil. As an expe­ri­enced MRO ser­vices provider with the pre­mier fleet of fixed and rotary wing air­craft, the com­pa­ny is to assist BETA with grow­ing its fleet of elec­tric air­craft and deploy charg­ing infra­struc­ture through­out the coun­try. 

Patrick Buck­les, BETA’s Sales Lead, remarked, “Over the past 66 years Líder has estab­lished itself as a leader in this mar­ket, offer­ing top-tier pas­sen­ger, car­go and med­ical trans­port oper­a­tions, and unpar­al­leled MRO ser­vice. We couldn’t imag­ine a bet­ter part­ner to enter this new mar­ket with.” 

Brazil is a pow­er­house in glob­al avi­a­tion, with more than 98 mil­lion domes­tic pas­sen­gers annu­al­ly and the sec­ond largest civ­il avi­a­tion fleet in the world.
