The AutoFlight V2000CG CarryAll has secured an overseas type certificate validation after being granted a Validated Type Certificate in Indonesia, reported to be a world first.

Issued on 3 June 2026, the certification confirms that the design of the two-ton unmanned cargo electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft complies with the rigorous airworthiness requirements of both the Civil Aviation Administration of China and Indonesia’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation. This regulatory milestone formally clears the autonomous aircraft to commence commercial cargo operations within the Indonesian market.

Featuring a maximum takeoff weight of 2,000 kg, a cruise speed of 200 km/h, and an operational range of 200 km, the platform is engineered specifically to address complex low-altitude logistics. Its fully electric lift-and-cruise configuration allows it to operate without traditional runway infrastructure. This runway-free design makes the aircraft highly suited for inter-island transport across Indonesia’s geography of more than 17,000 islands, providing an efficient method for moving high-value goods such as fresh produce, pharmaceuticals, and emergency supplies.

Prior to achieving this international validation, the platform established itself as the only ton-class electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft globally to hold a full set of airworthiness certificates from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, including the Type Certificate, Production Certificate, and Airworthiness Certificate. The aircraft has already been deployed in active operations across China, demonstrating its capabilities in offshore logistics, island resupply missions, and emergency response scenarios.

By achieving this airworthiness validation, AutoFlight establishes a regulatory and operational foundation for commercial services in Southeast Asia while advancing its broader corporate strategy for global market expansion.
