Lilypad eFBO
Next generation aircraft require next generation ground services.
FlyOnE is pioneering the eFBO of the future.
Passenger Handling
Small and regional airports are typically not designed to deliver premium passenger amenities or a modern customer experience.However, for on-demand air taxi and advanced air mobility (AAM) services to scale commercially, the passenger user experience (UX) must meet the expectations set by contemporary mobility platforms and premium ground transport.
Successful air taxi networks require a fast, seamless, and digitally enabled passenger journey, characterised by high levels of real-time communication, intuitive booking and boarding processes, elevated comfort standards, and uncompromising safety. Delivering a consistent, high-quality UX across distributed airport environments is essential to driving repeat usage, customer trust, and long-term network utilisation.

Energy independence
A defining characteristic of next-generation electric and hybrid aircraft is a fundamental shift in energy requirements.
Unlike conventional aviation, these aircraft depend on supporting ground-based energy infrastructure rather than liquid fuel supply chains.
In the same way that fuel tanks historically formed the backbone of airport operations, stored electrical energy must now be maintained onsite at electric fixed-base operators (eFBOs) to reliably service electric and hybrid aircraft. This includes integrated systems for energy storage, power management, and rapid aircraft charging.
This transition creates a significant opportunity for FlyOnE to develop energy-independent aviation service, supply, and maintenance hubs, reducing exposure to traditional fuel logistics and price volatility. By deploying local energy generation and storage, FlyOnE can deliver greater operational resilience, improved energy security, and lower long-term operating costs, while enabling the scalable commercialisation of next-generation aviation.
Maintenance Support
Integrated maintenance support at the operating site significantly reduces the risk of unscheduled aircraft downtime, dispatch delays, and service disruptions, which are particularly costly in high-frequency, on-demand air taxi networks. For electric and hybrid aircraft, this includes specialised certification for electric propulsion systems, energy storage components, power electronics, software-enabled diagnostics, and condition-based maintenance regimes.
By co-locating or embedding certified maintenance, repair, and support functions within next-generation aviation hubs, FlyOnE can rapidly resolve technical issues, maintain high fleet availability, and deliver consistent service levels to passengers. This capability is essential to minimising operational risk, supporting regulator confidence, and enabling the scalable commercial deployment of electric, hybrid, and eVTOL aircraft across distributed networks.

Versatility
Next-generation eVTOL aircraft require scalable, energy-enabled destination landing infrastructure to operate efficiently.The safest, lowest-cost, and most rapidly deployable solution is a floating eVTOL vertiport pontoon, purpose-built for installation at existing high-volume transport nodes such as quays, marinas, ferry terminals, and jetties.
FlyOnE is developing modular floating vertiport and landing pontoon systems with integrated energy recovery and charging capability, enabling eVTOL aircraft to recharge directly at the destination. These floating vertiports can be seasonally deployed and relocated in response to passenger demand, allowing operators to concentrate infrastructure precisely where utilisation is highest.
This approach minimises fixed infrastructure costs, reduces under-utilisation risk, accelerates network expansion, and supports the rapid commercial rollout of electric and hybrid air taxi services in coastal and urban environments.
