European Approval for Production Organisation Dutch Flying Car Company PAL
PAL-V said the approval lets it begin industrial-scale output and makes it the first FlyDrive company to secure the certification.
- On Monday, September 7, 2026, Dutch manufacturer PAL-V secured European Production Organisation Approval from EASA, becoming the first company globally to hold both automotive and aviation certifications for its Liberty flying car.
- Validating nearly two decades of development, the approval allows PAL-V to transition from extensive certification efforts to industrial-scale manufacturing of its unique dual-mode FlyDrive platform.
- Combining a conventional car and a gyroplane, the Liberty features an 817-mile range and can safely fly at 11,000 feet, showcasing its dual-mode operational capability.
- With sufficient customer reservations to fill three years of production, PAL-V is positioned ahead of similar American and Chinese initiatives in the emerging sector.
- CEO Robert Dingemanse said the POA achievement "confirms that we have built a world-class organisation," positioning the company as a strategic leader in the emerging Advanced Air Mobility industry.
