MD Aircraft Signs LOI with Aerova for its 20 MDA1 eViatorTM electric aircraft to operate across Canada

MD Air­craft GmbH today announced the sign­ing of a Let­ter of Intent (LOI) with Aero­va Inc, which cov­ers the ini­tial deploy­ment of 20 MDA1 eVi­a­torTM air­craft for oper­a­tions across Cana­da. 

Aero­va Inc. is based in the coun­try and­fo­cused on next-gen­er­a­tion avi­a­tion across both autonomous air logis­tics and region­al pas­sen­ger trans­port.

It deploys avi­a­tion sys­tems through reg­u­la­tor-aligned, cor­ri­dor-based oper­a­tions, enabling scal­able move­ment of goods and peo­ple across remote, indus­tri­al, and infra­struc­ture-con­strained regions. 

With its new Aero­va part­ner­ship, MD Air­craft has exe­cut­ed Let­ters of Intent for 140 air­craft, reflect­ing strong inter­na­tion­al demand for elec­tric region­al avi­a­tion solu­tions.

Ravi Gade, CEO of Aero­va Inc, said: “This LOI marks a sig­nif­i­cant step in expand­ing Aerova’s role as an oper­a­tor across both car­go and pas­sen­ger avi­a­tion. While our foun­da­tion is in autonomous air logis­tics, this part­ner­ship enables us to extend into region­al pas­sen­ger oper­a­tions, lever­ag­ing elec­tric air­craft to deliv­er effi­cient, low-emis­sion con­nec­tiv­i­ty across under­served and remote regions in Cana­da.”

MD Air­craft GmbH is a Ger­man aero­space com­pa­ny ded­i­cat­ed to devel­op­ing zero emis­sion, qui­et, cost-effi­cient elec­tric air­craft for Region­al Air Mobil­i­ty.

MD Air­craft is part of the MD Group includ­ing MD Flugzeug­bau and MD Com­pos­ites Tech­nolo­gies GmbH which has over 30 years’ expe­ri­ence design­ing, build­ing, and cer­ti­fy­ing com­pos­ite air­craft — a decade with elec­tric propul­sion.

MD Air­craft’s says its flag­ship pro­gram, the MDA1 eVi­a­tor, will rede­fine region­al air mobil­i­ty with ini­tial flight tests in ear­ly 2028, and com­mer­cial cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and entry into ser­vice tar­get­ed for 2030. 

Gre­gor Müller, CEO of MD Air­craft GmbH, added: “We are pleased to part­ner with Aero­va as they expand into region­al pas­sen­ger avi­a­tion. The MDA1 eVi­a­torTM is designed to enable sus­tain­able and cost-effi­cient region­al trans­port, and Aerova’s oper­a­tor-led approach makes them an ide­al part­ner for ear­ly deploy­ment.”
