flyvbird and flYellow partner for Smart Regional Air Mobility
Grand Caravan on-demand flights to start in Germany
flyvbird, the German AI-driven aviation start-up reshaping regional air travel, and flYellow, a seasoned air operator based in Passau, Germany, are pleased to announce a new, operations-led partnership.
The collaboration will provide the foundation for the launch of flyvbird’s flexible, on-demand flight services from Germany – on schedule to start from next month, with Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft operating on flYellow’s AOC.
Initial routes will connect regional airports including Friedrichshafen, Mönchengladbach, Münster/Osnabrück, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Hof-Plauen Airport and Berlin Strausberg, says flyvbird CEO Tomislav Lang. Passengers can already submit booking requests via flyvbird’s platform, with first flights scheduled for September 2025.
The alliance marries the expertise of flyvbird with its digital, agile platformand flYellow’s operational expertise as flying partner. Its Cessna Caravan (D-FEIC), to be operated exclusively for flyvbird, will serve both high-end charter flights and dynamic on-demand services with individual seat bookings.
“With flYellow, we have found a strong operational partner who shares our mission: to redefine regional flying—more flexible, sustainable, and truly customer-centric,” says Tomislav Lang, CEO of flyvbird.
“Our cooperation with flyvbird demonstrates how combining innovation with experience can drive the future of aviation,” adds Harald Eichberger, Managing Director of flYellow.
The partnership marks a major milestone in the evolution of regional air mobility — combining digital intelligence, operational excellence, and sustainability. Plans for expansion, including additional aircraft and network routes, are already underway, he said.
