Sirius Aviation AG has partnered with MEHAIR, India’s premier seaplane operator, to secure 50 orders of the Sirius Millennium Jet. 

This agreement includes 50 firm orders, with an option to add 50 more, totaling approximately $400 million in value.

The Sirius Jet, a hydrogen-powered, zero-emission, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, features a high-speed capability, quieter ducted fan jets, and an innovative hydrogen powertrain. The jet boasts a range of 1150 miles – said to be eight times that of traditional eVTOLs, and a speed of 323mph – three times faster.

Under this deal, MEHAIR will oversee the assembly of 50 Sirius Millennium Jets and 1,400 Millennium Hydrogen Fan Jets, along with integrating 50 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Powertrains and 10 Hydrogen Generation Units in India, marking a new era of zero-carbon aviation.

“This strategic alliance with MEHAIR lays the foundation for a greener future in air travel; embodying a commitment to eco-friendly aviation and technological excellence,” said Alexey Popov, the CEO of Sirius Aviation AG.

“Joining forces with Sirius Jet marks a significant step for India’s aviation, promising passengers luxurious yet economical travel with zero emissions,” added Siddharth Verma, the Managing Director of MEHAIR.

Key initiatives in the partnership:

  • Establishing final assembly lines for hydrogen VTOL jets in India
  • Creating franchise models for sales and after-sales support
  • Navigating the certification process for Sirius Jet products in India
  • Developing a robust green hydrogen infrastructure nationwide
  • Designing and operating vertiports across India
  • Providing comprehensive training for Sirius Jet fleet operation and maintenance
