August 25, 2026 – NOEMI Aerospace has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SkyHop Aviation, India’s first dedicated commercial seaplane operator, to start with the introduction of up to 15 NOEMI amphibious aircraft into the Indian market. The agreement provides NOEMI with early engagement with government backed seaplane operations as India moves forward with an ambitious national strategy for regional connectivity.
SkyHop is building a dedicated seaplane network in India, with initial operations focused on connecting the islands of Lakshadweep with each other and with the mainland. The company is targeting a fleet of up to 40 aircraft by FY2030.
Under the MoU, SkyHop and NOEMI will evaluate the technical, operational, commercial and regulatory requirements for introducing NOEMI aircraft into SkyHop’s future fleet. The collaboration will also explore opportunities for a broader strategic partnership in India, including the potential for future manufacturing and assembly of electric and hybrid NOEMI aircraft in the country.
