Elfly Group brings environmentally friendly aviation to you.

Norway is a country that is highly dependent on planes as means of transportation. Since aviation accounts for more than 5 % of all domestic emissions, we intend to offer people a more sustainable alternative.

We are one of the founders of the Nordic Network for Electric Aviation (NEA) - an industry network coordinating the development of electric aviation in the Nordic region.

Elfly is directly involved in several projects to make electric aircraft a reality. Currently, our focus is to develop a 9-seater electric amphibious aircraft. With our first scale prototype already built and tested, we launched a development program to take a 5.6-ton full-scale prototype and demonstrator to the skies by the end of 2026.
