The Spanish regional carrier aims to becomeHAV's first customer, and diversify its domestic fleet by using Airlander on domestic routes. In turn, the British group will create 1,800 jobs at its facility in South Yorkshire, northern England, when it starts production later this year.
A hybrid ship that looks like twoglued airship, there is a body filled with helium. It will be powered by a hybrid of electric and fuel engines, and by 2030 it will be completely electric.
