Sustainable and emission-free
One of the key highlights of the AirYacht is its commitment to sustainability. Powered by hybrid propulsion, with plans to run on emissions-free hydrogen by 2030, the airship will have a minimal environmental impact.

It can embark or disembark passengers with the help of an elevator. During this process, the airship remains in the air without the need for infrastructure, such as airports or roads, further reducing its ecological footprint.

Competition and future prospects
While the AirYacht faces competition from other airship projects like Airlander 10 and Atlant 30, its innovative design and commitment to luxury set it apart. Additionally, the success of projects like Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s Pathfinder could pave the way for increased investment in the airship sector, benefiting startups like AirYacht.
We reached out to AirYacht, and its CEO, Guillaume Hoddé, tells us,
Flying and living in the sky in an airship is a dream that I want to live and give the opportunity to the maximum amount of people I can.

Not interested in spending $10k a night to ride the Hindenburg. Would rather. Hire a plane if i wanted to see the view from 10,000 feet for a few hours then take a river cruise through Europe at 1/4 the cost and for a whole week! But others might differ!!
Every so often someone brings up the idea of “lets build a dirigible/blimp that will be the next best thing for luxury travel “ then they use the past to showcase how it works, adding the major faults of the past to explain why their ideas will be better. 10,000 feet maximum altitude you ain’t gonna be going over the Alps at many places and you have to do your research on updrafts and downdrafts to make sure you don’t end up ON the Alps! The cost? I think I could spend ten grand on a better vacation that would take me a week to explore a few great places and enjoy a few good restaurants and still have money left over! If you can afford it then go for it. Might be fun. For me it’s a NO!
