KUALA LUMPUR: Supersonic aircraft company, Aerion(R) has forged an expansive collaboration with NetJets, the world's largest private aviation company and FlightSafety International(R) (FSI) to shape the future of global mobility.

According to a statement, NetJets and Aerion will explore exclusive partnership for the global mobility platform, Aerion Connect(TM).

Aerion Connect(TM) will integrate multiple, currently siloed urban and regional networks and provide a seamless point-to-point travel experience, optimised for speed and luxury across multiple modes of transportation.

In collaboration with FSI, the premier professional aviation training company, Aerion will also develop a supersonic flight training academy for civil, commercial and military supersonic aircraft.

The Aerion-branded facility will channel FSI's comprehensive global training expertise to provide a centre of excellence for supersonic flight training and education, shaping the flight crews of the future.

Underlining the long-term focus of the partnership, NetJets has also obtained purchase rights for 20 AS2(R) supersonic business jets, which start production at Aerion Park in Melbourne, Florida in 2023.

Aerion and NetJets are united by a shared commitment to usher in a new era of sustainable flight that is kind to the planet and part of the solution to reverse climate change.

As part of this agreement, the two companies will also work together on domestic and international actions intended to facilitate the global availability and broad adoption of synthetic aviation fuels.
