The new collaboration is intended to redefine regional air mobility by offering innovative, sustainable, and personalised flight experiences to underserved communities, the partners said.
Founded by Tomislav Lang and Anton Lutz, Flyv Bird aims to address the growing need for alternative transportation solutions, particularly in decentralised rural areas where convenient and fast travel connections are limited. By focusing on providing faster connections, simplified travel journeys, and arrivals closer to the destination, Flyv Bird promises to revolutionise regional air travel within a 25km radius from exclusive departure points accessible only to Flyv’s customers, utilising existing infrastructure.
Lang said: "This partnership with the AAM Institute marks a significant milestone for Flyv Bird as we continue to redefine regional air mobility. By leveraging the Institute’s expertise in advanced air mobility, we can accelerate the integration of sustainable, on-demand air travel into the broader AAM ecosystem. Together, we are committed to offering faster, more accessible, and environmentally friendly travel solutions, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and reach of regional transportation networks."
Flyv Bird uses an advanced mathematical modelling software algorithm, flyvAI, which pools decentral traffic streams and optimises on-demand commercial offers. This technology allows Flyv Bird to offer what it describes as the fastest decentral connections at competitive prices compared to trains and cars.
“First, middle, and last mile passenger transport is very rarely 100% carried out by aviation means alone. Advanced air mobility seeks to complement and seamlessly integrate with multi-modal solutions. Flyv Bird is leading the effort to reduce friction and pain points during inevitable mode changes and we are eager to support such pragmatic and data driven approaches,” said Dan Sloat, Institute founder and president.
