L'revolutionary agreement between Volotea, Air Nostrum and Dante confirms the Strong interest from traditional airlines in investing in innovative, cutting-edge technology, allowing Low-cost, zero-emission flights.
Dante, whose focus is the conversion of combustion aircraft to electric aircraft, offers a cost-effective and financially sustainable flight model that is a zero-emission solution for aviation operators.

The companies are working closely together and are on track to Certify an innovative new technique that will convert a combustion-powered Cessna Caravan into a battery-electric aircraft, whose Takeoff is planned for 2025.
