Dubai-based company Aviterra has concluded a deal with PAL-V to introduce the Liberty flying car to the Middle East and Africa. 

Aviterra is acquiring over 100 PAL-V Liberty flying cars, making an investment, and formalizing a partnership for the Middle East and Africa.

Mouhanad Wadaa, Managing Director of Aviterra, said; “The PAL-V is the perfect tool for our customers’ regional travel requirements, offering a combination of flying and driving. It’s truly an innovation that will change mobility as we know it.”

Wadaa emphasizes the enhanced travel options the Liberty provides, with customers having the flexibility to Fly-Drive themselves or utilize Aviterra’s services.

The PAL-V Liberty, with a combination of a gyroplane and a car, addresses the need to travel independent from (congested) roads and enhance travel flexibility. With a flight range of 500 km and a maximum airspeed of 180 km/h, the Liberty shortens commute and travel times.

“While running a business aviation company, we’ve always kept a close eye on the emerging Advanced Air Mobility industry,” added Wadaa.

“PAL-V’s long-standing presence and adherence to existing regulations allow our customers to safely FlyDrive using existing air and road infrastructure. Furthermore, PAL-V is the only player that combines flying and driving into one vehicle. No other player in the market offers this combination and can realistically deliver the vehicles in the near future.”

Loggia Investment, the investment arm of Aviterra, has made a strategic investment in PAL-V and established partnership for the Middle East and Africa region.

PAL-V’s CEO and Founder, Robert Dingemanse, added; “Aviterra and Mr. Wadaa have vast experience in aviation, understand our certification process, and have an excellent reputation in the business aviation industry.

"They are a strong partner to support our sales and marketing activities in the Middle East and Africa, which is headed by our VP Middle East, Khalil Malaeb.”

Dingemanse teases forthcoming highlights, saying; “In the coming months, we have more updates on development and certification successes, confirming our lead in the emerging AAM market.”
