Primus Aero chooses PAL‑V Liberty to enhance operations

Nether­lands-based Primus Aero is invest­ing in the future of trans­porta­tion with a fleet of PAL‑V Lib­er­ty vehi­cles to enhance oper­a­tional excel­lence and min­imise the down­time of client air­craft.

Stephan Krain­er, CEO and Founder of PRIMUS AERO, explains: “The PAL‑V is a time-sav­ing machine for us. Our staff con­sists of high­ly trained and qual­i­fied experts, with decent incomes.

“Hav­ing them stuck in traf­fic jams is a very inef­fi­cient use of their time. By incor­po­rat­ing PAL-Vs into our oper­a­tions, we will save time and mon­ey by reduc­ing unpro­duc­tive times.

“Deliv­er­ing top-notch ser­vice is our pri­or­i­ty. Min­imis­ing the down­time of our cus­tomers’ air­craft is vital. Cur­rent­ly, if a main­te­nance issue aris­es at an air­port out­side our base, some­one must dri­ve there.

“In Aus­tria, this can be a long jour­ney due to the moun­tain­ous and wind­ing roads. By using the PAL‑V to fly one of our main­te­nance per­son­nel to the des­ti­na­tion and giv­ing them the flex­i­bil­i­ty to use the PAL‑V as a ser­vice car when land­ed, we can great­ly reduce the down­time of our clients’ air­craft.”

Primus Aero aims to utilise the PAL‑V Lib­er­ty not only for its own oper­a­tions but also for its air­craft main­te­nance com­pa­nies. For PAL‑V, this part­ner­ship rein­forces the PAL‑V Lib­er­ty’s ver­sa­til­i­ty.

Robert Dinge­manse, CEO of PAL‑V, added: “The PAL‑V Lib­er­ty can be used for a wide range of appli­ca­tions. With PRIMUS AERO, they will take advan­tage of its abil­i­ty to fly and dri­ve to short­en com­mut­ing times and pro­vide their cus­tomers with door-to-door air mobil­i­ty. On top of that PRIMUS AERO’s exten­sive exper­tise in air­craft main­te­nance posi­tions them as a key region­al part­ner.”

In addi­tion to the pri­vate indi­vid­ual orders received by PAL‑V, the com­pa­ny is wit­ness­ing more and more pro­fes­sion­al organ­i­sa­tions rec­og­niz­ing the ben­e­fits of using a vehi­cle that can both fly and dri­ve.

The PAL‑V Lib­er­ty is cur­rent­ly under­go­ing an exten­sive test pro­gram, and the com­pa­ny is prepar­ing for its first series of pro­duc­tion vehi­cles that will com­plete the cer­ti­fi­ca­tion flight test pro­gramme next year.
