Antwerp Airport could see electric passenger aircraft enter service from 2030, with ASL Group and FlyingGroup outlining plans for two different types of battery-powered aircraft. The airport is also preparing charging infrastructure to support their introduction. ASL Group chief executive Philippe Bodson said the company has ordered ten VÆRIDION Microliners, with the first delivery expected in 2030. The nine-passenger aircraft is being developed for regional flights, with a projected range of 400 kilometres at full passenger capacity, increasing to 550 kilometres with five passengers, according to the manufacturer. Bodson identified London, Paris, Bremen and Groningen as potential destinations from Antwerp, although no routes have been announced.
