"We revolutionise transportation by building a network of organisations dedicated to creating a value chain for electric flying."
By working together, we establish electric airlines, flying schools, and electric regional aviation across Europe.
Become a MemberFor the first time, a Beta ALIA CX300 will fly in the Netherlands. On 29 May, demonstration flights will take place at Den Helder Airport and Lelystad Airport — facilitated by e-Smart Avia and delivered in collaboration with EFC and the host airports.
Registration for Den Helder Airport is closed due to high demand.

Europe's regional aviation infrastructure is ready. The technology is proven. What's needed is the network to connect them — and that is exactly what EFC builds.
Electric flying unlocks point-to-point travel between Europe's regional hubs — eliminating hub-and-spoke detours and reducing travel time significantly.
Current battery technology already covers the most-travelled short-haul distances. This is the segment where electric aviation is ready to compete today.
As batteries improve and renewable energy becomes more available, a significant share of fossil fuel flights under 800 km can be replaced by electric alternatives.
From training aircraft flying today to 90-seat airliners on the horizon — electric aviation is scaling fast.
Aircraft shown are indicative and represent a range of electric aircraft that will operate in each segment during that period.
We envision a future where electric aviation is not a niche technology but a standard transportation option connecting Europe's regions sustainably and efficiently.
EFC understands that success requires close cooperation with the existing aviation industry. We do not replace — we connect and accelerate. Our six working groups cover the full value chain: from aircraft manufacturing and certification to infrastructure, training, and entrepreneurship.
See Our MembersEFC welcomes organisations actively contributing to or with a strategic interest in the development of electric aviation — from OEMs and airports to universities and service providers.
Be part of the network that is shaping the future of electric regional aviation in Europe.
