Future electric phase and timeline
FFG intends to introduce electric aircraft in a later phase, but has not set a specific timetable. Deployment will depend on aircraft availability, regulatory approvals and commercial readiness. The company will use insights from the PC-12 operations to shape the electric rollout.
