Regional airports become energy, mobility, and logistics hubs

Rethinking regional infrastructure

ALBATROSS designs, finances, and operates networked infrastructure together with airports

With tailor-made solutions, we strengthen critical infrastructure and open up new economic potential

ALBATROSS develops sustainable energy and charging infrastructure, opens up additional revenue streams, and prepares airports for the integration of electrified aerial mobility. Additionally, we establish drone logistics and data centers as innovative energy consumers.

Unlocking Hidden Economic Potential through Regional Airports

With three key pillars, we unlock the untapped economic power of regional airports across Europe.

Energy

Through local energy production and storage, additional revenue streams are generated while enabling a largely self-sufficient energy supply. This forms the foundation for the electrification of mobility and logistics.

Mobility

A smart charging infrastructure accelerates the electrification of ground transport and airport operations, paving the way for electric regional air mobility.

Logistic

The logistics of goods and data are growing exponentially. Regional airports can become crucial hubs by hosting drone logistics, decentralized data centers, and other energy-intensive consumers.

Energy Enables Mobility and Logistics at Scale

The new role of regional airports: energy source, charging hub, logistics crossroads

Strategic Location Benefits::Companies benefit from affordable, green energy, new regional flight connections, and innovative logistics solutions.

Energy Infrastructure:Decentralized photovoltaic systems, battery storage, hydrogen systems, and charging points for vehicles and aircraft strengthen the resilience and self-sufficiency of airports.

Business Model:ALBATROSS analyzes the current and future energy needs of the airport, develops the infrastructure required to meet them, and leverages private capital to finance it.

In 3 Steps to a Future-Proof Energy Infrastructure

With us at your side, we develop the ideal infrastructure step by step and ensure long-term success from the initial analysis to successful implementation, always in close collaboration.

Introduction &
Site Assessment

Joint introduction, goal definition, and first understanding of the location, challenges, and opportunities – involving all relevant local stakeholders.

Feasibility Study &
Energy Master Plan

Analyse des Energiebedarfs, der vorhandenen Infrastruktur und Entwicklung eines maßgeschneiderten Masterplans mit konkreten Ausbauoptionen.

Financing &
Implementation

We support the entire process from technical planning and financing through to construction and operation of the infrastructure.

Your Next Step

We provide tailored solutions for airports, integrating renewable energy into safety-critical areas. In doing so, we take all aviation-specific requirements into account and ensure a legally compliant and secure implementation. Our solutions combine sustainability with the highest operational standards to safeguard the long-term future viability of airports.

Network-Effects

Airports benefit from synergies in energy and operations when working together

Attractive Route Network:An interconnected expansion of regional airfields enables an attractive and reliable route network for electric air mobility – supported by coordinated charging processes and secure energy availability.

Synergies in Cooperation:Energy flows, peak loads, and storage capacities can be optimized together, balanced regionally, and bundled economically. Aggregating generated energy improves market position and increases revenues for all stakeholders – while simultaneously reducing operating costs.

Scalability:This creates a scalable system of mobility, energy, and logistics – efficient, future-proof, and economically attractive.

Strong Partnerships

We are building a strong partner network and strategically leveraging existing corporate investments, including VÆRIDION, Urban Ray, and 1KOMMA5°. These strategic partnerships enable ALBATROSS to quickly implement energy infrastructure, develop the right solutions, apply proper standards, and, at the same time, prepare the areas of mobility and logistics effectively.

ALBATROSS Network

Whether you already have your own energy infrastructure or want to become part of a growing network, we provide tailored solutions and access to established standards. Benefit from the advantages of an intelligently connected system.

"Almost every airfield today is overwhelmed with offers to lease its open spaces and rooftops for PV generation. However, these offers do not prepare airports for the aviation-specific energy requirements of the future, and their economic value is negligible. If aviation and mobility concepts of the future are to succeed, it is essential that the necessary regional airport infrastructure is preserved and can be operated economically with these concepts. This is in the interest of all stakeholders, not just airport operators. For me, as long-standing Managing Director of Flugplatzgesellschaft Schönhagen mbH, this was the main motivation to sign the Letter of Intent with ALBATROSS."
