Surcar Airlines Chooses ZeroAvia Engines for Hydrogen Seaplanes

Canarian Airline Aims for Zero-Emission Twin Otter Floatplane

ZeroAvia has inked a deal to provide its ZA600 hydrogen-electric engines to a new Canarian operator, Surcar Airlines.

The firm intends to use the hybrid powertrain on a fleet of float-equipped Twin Otter seaplanes, offering zero-emission flights throughout the Canary islands. While the company’s press speaks of lofty, climate-friendly aims and inspirationally sustainable practices, the accountants will undoubtedly be happy to save on fuel costs - if they can source cheap hydrogen, that is. “By pioneering captivating, green sightseeing flights, the company aims to inspire and drive other operators towards adopting sustainable practices, accelerating the transition to a cleaner future for the entire industry.

“The Canaries are a perfect use case for the earliest zero-emission flights, given the opportunity for replacing combustion engines on short island-to-island routes," said James Pack, CCO at ZeroAvia. "Developing green options for inter-island travel will help further increase the appeal of one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations.”

“Millions visit each year to see the incredible natural beauty and world heritage sites here in the Canary Islands," said Gerardo Morales-Hierro, Surcar Airlines Founder. "Climate change threatens this and our way of life. Working with ZeroAvia will help us to deliver cleaner flights, while also fostering positive impacts on the local community and the environment.”
