5000 electric starts and landings

We have now completed 5,000 electric take-offs and landings – a milestone that sets us apart globally. Since the start in 2022, we have trained commercial pilots with a strong focus on sustainability, where flying electric is an important part of the training.
Skellefteå has been at the forefront of fossil-free aviation and with one of the world’s most powerful electric aircraft charging stations established here since 2020, we have now completed 5,000 electric take-offs and landings.

GFA are proving that sustainable aviation is not just a vision – it works commercially. This is a major step towards more sustainable transport. We are a piece of the puzzle in building a more climate-friendly aviation industry, and although the road ahead is long, we are on the right track.
