ASL orders 10 electric aircraft from Vaeridion, targets 2030 electric private jets

Belgian private jet operator ASL has ordered 10 electric aircraft from German manufacturer Vaeridion, aiming for electric operations by 2030. Current electric aircraft at Deurne have only 40-minute range, limiting them to training; the new nine-seat aircraft are intended for commercial service. This marks a significant step toward electric aviation in Europe, though range and infrastructure remain uncertain.
