Aerovolt UK and 3 Legs Aviation Services announced a strategic partnership to introduce electric aircraft charging solutions at Isle of Man Airport (Ronaldsway Airport). This collaboration marks a significant milestone in advancing sustainable aviation infrastructure for the Island. Aerovolt plans to install a fixed 44kW AS6968 charging point at Ronaldsway Airport to support aircraft charging, flight training, business, and commercial aviation operations at the airport.  

In addition to establishing the charging infrastructure, Aerovolt and 3 Legs Aviation Services will explore the feasibility of introducing electric flight training programs at the airport. This initiative aligns with both companies' commitment to promoting environmentally friendly aviation practices and reducing carbon emissions.

Philip Kingsley-Dobson, Founder of Aerovolt UK commented: "We are excited to partner with 3 Legs Aviation Services to bring cutting-edge electric aircraft charging solutions to the Isle of Man. This collaboration underscores our dedication to expanding the UK's electric aircraft charging network and supporting the transition to zero-emission aviation."

Mark Langley, Founder of 3 Legs Aviation Services stated: "Our partnership with Aerovolt represents a significant step forward in enhancing the sustainability of aviation services at Ronaldsway Airport. By providing state-of-the-art electric aircraft charging facilities, we are paving the way for a greener future in aviation on the Isle of Man."

This initiative is part of Aerovolt's broader mission to deploy a global network of chargers for electric aircraft, eVTOLs, and drones, working alongside manufacturers, regulators, and airport operators to facilitate the growth of zero-emission aviation. The company's efforts have already seen the successful installation of charging systems at multiple UK airports, contributing to the development of sustainable air transportation infrastructure.

3 Legs Aviation Services is dedicated to supporting the deployment of Aerovolt’s services by facilitating access to existing power infrastructure, airport licenses, and hangarage facilities. With extensive experience in light aircraft handling, the team plays a key role in enhancing airport operations while contributing to the Isle of Man’s progress in sustainable aviation.
