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.
