H55 and Elfly Group announced the signing of a MoU to introduce the BRM Aero B23 Energic - the first EASA CS-23 certified fully electric aircraft - to the Nordic market. Under the MoU, Elfly Group will acquire three B23 Energic aircraft through the exclusive Founders’ Edition launch program, plus options for two additional aircraft.  Delivery of the first three units is scheduled for 2026, catapulting the expansion of the B23 Energic across the Nordic region. This landmark agreement also establishes a strategic collaboration among H55, BRM Aero, manufacturers of the B23 aircraft and Elfly Group. Under this partnership, Elfly Group will act as the distributor for the B23 Energic in Norway, Denmark and Sweden.

The B23 Energic Nordic Launch. The Nordic market entry for the B23 Energic will commence with a joint demonstration tour across Norway and other Nordic countries from early 2025.  During this tour, the fully electric two-seater aircraft, which offers an endurance of 60 minutes, plus reserves, will showcase at leading flight schools and pilot training academies. Pilots will have the opportunity to test fly the aircraft, demonstrating the potential to revolutionize regional pilot training and air mobility.

A Shared Vision for Green Innovation. The partnership unites three companies committed to advancing sustainable aviation innovation. The collaboration encompasses:

  • Introducing next level electric aviation in the Nordics, with the first certified CS-23 aircraft.
  • Marketing and sales activities to promote electric aviation solutions.
  • Maintenance training programs to support regional adoption and technical know-how.
  • Aircraft leasing options to enhance accessibility for flight schools and private users.
  • Providing Elfly Group with access to an experimental aircraft ahead of the certified units’ delivery.

Eric Lithun, CEO of Elfly Group, commented: “This partnership represents a crucial step in reducing aviation’s carbon footprint and noise. Together with our new partners H55 and BRM, we aim to transform regional air mobility in the Nordics, ushering in cleaner, more efficient solutions to market.”
