Aura Aero has signed agreements with three European distributors to expand access to its two aircraft types, the Integral trainer and hybrid-electric ERA.

European Aircraft Sales, based in Denmark, will cover Scandinavia, Finland, the Netherlands and the Baltics. It has more than three decades of experience in general and business aviation and has long assisted OEMs with new and pre-owned aircraft transactions.

In Poland, JB Investments will handle national distribution. It was established in 1992 and is the country’s oldest provider of aircraft and helicopter sales and service, with clients in both public and private sectors.

Italy’s B&C SrL will oversee distribution throughout Italy, Malta, Albania, San Marino and the Vatican. The company was founded in 2013 and offers tailored aircraft acquisition services to private and professional buyers.

“With these new aircraft dealers, Aura Aero will significantly expand its reach in the general aviation market. We will be able to access a wide range of new sales and service opportunities, while strengthening our order book for the Integral family as well as for ERA, the future of sustainable aviation,” says Aura Aero co-founder and CEO, Jérémy Caussade.

The company’s COO, Drew McEwen, adds: “We are thrilled to be partnering with three new respected dealers, to benefit from their extensive experience and their wide network to develop the sales of our two families of aircraft. These new partnerships will considerably help develop our customer base and we are very excited about that.”

ERA is a hybrid-electric aircraft with an expected 1,600 km range and 80 per cent lower emissions than conventional types. Over 600 letters of intent have already been signed ahead of its planned entry into service by 2030. It will be offered in VIP, passenger and cargo variants.

Integral is a two-seat trainer with aerobatic capability, suited to both civil and military applications. It is offered in combustion and all-electric versions.
