The group actively contributes to the transition of aircraft towards decarbonated mobility and is investing in the initial training of airline pilots through its subsidiary Ready 4 Aero (R4A).

This order for ten INTEGRAL E, the electric version of INTEGRAL, the twin-seater training aircraft with an aerobatics capacity, will help R4A fulfill its ambitions. Headquartered in Kosice, Slovakia, R4A will offer a complete « Very Low Emission » airline pilot training as from 2023, with a zero emission objective as from 2025.
