According to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), a quarter of all flights operated in Europe cover less than 500 km, a distance within the reach of electric aircraft currently under development. Meanwhile, hybrid-electric aircraft will be able to cover up to 1,000 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several French and European routes fall within this scope: Nice-Pisa, Marseille-Bastia, Nice-Bastia, Marseille-Figari, Bordeaux-Lyon, Nice-Clermont-Ferrand and Montpellier-Ajaccio. On a European scale, London-Dublin, Athens-Santorini, Barcelona-Ibiza and Rome-Sardinia are also among the routes concerned. These routes often serve islands or regions that are difficult to access by train, which, according to T&amp;E, reinforces the relevance of electric aircraft on these segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/transport-environnement-travel-ranking\/\" data-id=\"197013\">Travel policies and CO2 emissions: good and bad performers according to T&amp;E<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/transport-environnement.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-228147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/transport-environnement.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/transport-environnement-300x248-derived.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/transport-environnement-14x12-derived.jpg 14w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Potential air routes that could be electrified by 2030<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-des-start-up-en-tete-devant-les-grands-avionneurs\">Start-ups in the lead, ahead of major aircraft manufacturers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Three European companies are concentrating the most advanced developments. The German start-up Vaeridion is working on a 9-seat regional electric aircraft, with a range of 400 to 550 km depending on the payload, aiming for passenger transport certification by 2030; it already boasts over 100 purchase commitments. The Dutch company Elysian Aircraft, in partnership with KLM, is developing a 90-seat battery-powered aircraft capable of travelling up to 1,000 km, with entry into service scheduled for 2035. In France, Aura Aero is designing a 19-seat hybrid-electric aircraft boasting a range of 1,500 km, with certification announced for the end of 2029, before planning 40 to 90-seat versions. Airbus, meanwhile, has recently postponed the development of its own zero-emission programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/emissions-business-travel-efforts\/\" data-id=\"124797\">Companies' efforts to reduce emissions criticised by T&amp;E<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>According to price projections provided by Vaeridion, regional electric transport could reach a fare of less than \u20ac0.50 per passenger-kilometre, or around \u20ac200 for a London-Dublin flight. Furthermore, in July, the European Union proposed opening up investments previously reserved for sustainable aviation fuels to electric aircraft, while introducing carbon pricing on private jets.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transport &amp;
