The world’s first sustainable flight school Green Flight Academy, which is established at Skellefteå Airport, conducts international pilot training with a sustainability focus. Since its inception in 2022, the flight school has trained commercial pilots who, in their training, fly electric aircraft, among other things.
Now the flight school has completed 5,000 take-offs and landings with electric aircraft, which is world unique.

In Skellefteå, active work is underway for fossil-free aviation. Already in 2020, one of the world’s first and most powerful charging stations for electric aircraft was inaugurated and already in the same year, the Green Flight Academy established its operations at Skellefteå Airport.
Since the start, over 45 students have studied in Skellefteå and since the flight school has a great sustainability focus, electric aircraft are used in a large part of the training. The flight school has now completed 5,000 take-offs and landings with electric aircraft, which is highly unique and probably means that Skellefteå Airport is one of the airports in the world where there are most take-offs and landings with electric aircraft.

This spring, Green Flight Academy will have the largest number of students since the flight school started when as many as 13 new students will study to become pilots at Campus and Skellefteå Airport.

In 2025, work on fossil-free air transport will continue in Skellefteå through the Arctic Aviation Hub cooperation program. The program will include the inauguration of Europe’s second drone airport and intensify work on the hydrogen aircraft of the future. Robert Lindberg
