\u201cThe demand for regional air travel using small aircraft could be ten times bigger if we reduce operating costs by 40% or more compared to conventional aircraft and this is exactly what our electric conversion integration technology will deliver in the next few years,\u201d said David Doral, Dovetail\u2019s CEO, and co-founder.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dovetail Electric Aviation (Dovetail) and MintAir Co. Limited (MintAir) have forged a strategic partnership to supply zero-emission electric commuter aircraft to the Korean Market.<\/p>\n
Under the agreement, MintAir will purchase up to 10 turbine powered aircraft which have been converted to battery-electric and hydrogen propulsion in South Korea, where MintAir is planning to introduce Advanced Air Mobility services.<\/p>\n
Dovetail\u2019s converted electric aircraft will add to MintAir\u2019s planned fleet to service regional routes. Initially, MintAir plans to enter the cargo transport market with Dovetail\u2019s electric aircraft as these will meet MintAir\u2019s selection criteria: safe operation, energy-saving take-off efficiency of CTOL, low operating cost of electric propulsion, and a faster route to certification. The aircraft will be converted using magniX electric motors, the only electric propulsion technology to be flight-tested in the 350kw to\u00a0650kw class.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur mission is to develop the safest advanced air mobility service for both urban and regional routes and Dovetail\u2019s practical approach to zero-emission aviation is well-aligned with our mission,\u201d said MintAir founder and Chief Executive Officer, Eugene Choi. \u201cDovetail\u2019s converted electric aircraft is appealing as a cost-effective workhorse for the regional air transport market.\u201d<\/p>\n
MintAir becomes another adopter of Dovetail\u2019s electric conversions, which will be fully certified aircraft by 2025. This order follows similar agreements with other operators and aircraft lessors, for up to 65 aircraft.<\/p>\n

Dovetail is at the forefront of the new regional and general aviation industry, aiming to create a sustainable era by enabling aviation operators to fly regional routes in zero emission, electric powered aircraft.<\/p>\n
Dovetail Electric Aviation is a company pioneering disruptive electric aviation concepts including both battery and hydrogen powerplants to convert conventional regional fixed wing aircraft into electric enabling aviation operators to fly regional routes in zero-emission, electric-powered aircraft. Dovetail has a presence both in Spain and Australia. For more information, visit www.dovetail.aero<\/a><\/p>\n MintAir Co. LTD is an Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operator in South Korea. MintAir\u2019s approach is to facilitate an ecosystem of partners to accelerate the adoption of electric flights in Korea. MintAir selects its fleet of electric aircraft based on four criteria: superior safety under power loss situations through gliding or autorotation, energy-saving lift efficiency, low operating cost, and a clear path to certification via existing regulations. MintAir\u2019s mission is to develop the safest and the most cost-effective advanced air mobility service in both urban and regional routes.
