The airport has its own fossil-free operations, access to fossil-free biofuel aviation fuel and in August inaugurated Sweden&#039;s most powerful charging infrastructure for electric aircraft, which led to the establishment of the world&#039;s greenest commercial flight school, Green Flight Academy. When the operations are fully expanded, the flight school will educate up to 100 students annually and also mean about 20 new jobs.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0px;\">\n<li style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 0px; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: black;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: windowtext;\">One of the world&#039;s first fossil-free airports and a green flight school that both have a commitment to implementing a green transition in the aviation industry is a perfect match. This, together with a municipality and region that is a leader in climate work, means great opportunities. Green Flight Academy is now starting operations with the goal of reaching 100 students, says Olov Hultin, CEO of Green Flight Academy<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: black;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: windowtext;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: black;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: windowtext;\">Green Flight Academy has an order for ten Pipistrel Velis Electro electric aircraft, two of which have now been delivered and eight more will be delivered in 2022.
