Strengthening Dutch Aviation Collaboration into Dutch aviation industry
Hoofddorp, May 12, 2025 – Elysian Aircraft, the Dutch startup redefining the future of emission-free air travel, has relocated to the site of Fokker Services Group in Hoofddorp. The move deepens the company’s integration into the national aviation ecosystem and marks a key step in its mission to accelerate clean aviation.
Elysian Aircraft is developing the first large-scale battery-electric aircraft designed for routes up to 800 kilometers. The new location, near Schiphol Airport, provides space for growth and proximity to leading aviation companies. It also carries symbolic weight as a landmark of Dutch aerospace engineering.
“Clean aviation is not a solo project. It requires collaboration, and this location is perfect for that,” said Daniel Rosen Jacobson, Co-CEO of Elysian Aircraft.
Greener Course
Fokker Services Group recently introduced a Greener Course sustainability strategy, aligned with the Paris Agreement’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. The arrival of Elysian at their site reinforces this commitment.
“Elysian Aircraft’s relocation to our premises is a wonderful reflection of our shared vision for sustainable aviation. It perfectly aligns with the ambitions of our Greener Course strategy,” said Menzo van der Beek, CEO of Fokker Services Group.
A New Chapter in Dutch Aerospace
By joining the Fokker campus, Elysian connects with a legacy of Dutch aviation innovation. The co-location creates opportunities for collaboration with experienced aerospace professionals and expands the network driving next-generation aviation technologies.
Elysian will continue to develop the E9X aircraft at its new location, further supported by its advisory board of industry leaders from KLM, Transavia, Eindhoven Airport, and more.
