A new, operations-led partnership announced between flyvbird, the German AI-driven aviation start-up reshaping regional air travel, and flYellow, a seasoned air operator based in Passau, Germany. This collaboration will provide the foundation for the launch of flyvbird’s flexible, on-demand flight services from Germany - on schedule to start from next month, with Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft operating on flYellow’s AOC.
According to flyvbird CEO Tomislav Lang, initial routes will connect regional airports including Friedrichshafen, Mönchengladbach, Münster/Osnabrück,Hamburg, Frankfurt, Hof-Plauen Airport and Berlin Strausberg.
