Electrifly is introducing emission-free transportation through electric flights between Maastricht, Liège, and Aachen, making it Europe's first international electric flight service available to the general public. The service allows travelers to fly green and travel clean between Würselen-Aachen Airport, Maastricht Aachen Airport, and Liège Airport. In addition to electric flights, a certified driver can provide transportation in a NIO ET7 to and from the airport. Passengers can board a Pipistrel Velis Electro for their travel needs, with one passenger accommodated per experience. Electrifly aims to provide sustainable transportation options for travelers in the Euregio region.

7 commentsMaastricht has an once-per-hour train service to Liege which takes 30 minutes, and a twice-per-hour train service to Aachen which takes 50 minutes. The same can be done by car in 25 minutes and 45 minutes. Take into account travel to/from the airport, and it takes longer than just going by car or train.
