Rottnest Air Taxi / A FlyOnE company
The next flight
starts here.
From a short hop across the Indian Ocean to a new generation of Australian air taxis. We’re developing hybrid-electric aircraft around the routes we fly every day.

01 / Wadjemup, Western Australia
A short route with a long reach.
FlyOnE Limited acquired Rottnest Air Taxi, operated by Wadjemup Aerial Service, with a clear purpose. Move an established passenger air taxi operation towards electric and hybrid aircraft as soon as practical.
Between Jandakot and Wadjemup / Rottnest Island, short sectors and frequent turnarounds show us what the next aircraft needs to do. Cabin access, baggage, energy use and time on the ground all matter when you’re flying the route day after day.
02 / Electric flying in practice
From the training circuit to the air taxi route.
FlyOnE helped pioneer electric flight training in Australia, developing a training curriculum with the regulator and building commercial experience with the two-seat Pipistrel Alpha Electro. That work includes certified electric flying with fare-paying passengers.
Electric proof-of-concept flights on the Perth–Rottnest corridor have already put the route and charging at both ends to the test.
The next step is to bring that operating experience into a dedicated passenger aircraft and make hybrid-electric air taxi service practical at scale.
03 / Aircraft development
Meet the E-Stallion.
FlyOnE and a Western Australian airframer are developing the E-Stallion for short regional passenger flights. The programme brings together a carbon-composite design, Australian engineering and international propulsion expertise, including European suppliers.
The goal is a more comfortable cabin, lower operating costs and an aircraft suited to the pace of daily air taxi work. The hybrid-electric passenger configuration is in development. Entry into commercial service is subject to certification and operational approvals.

From island crossings to coastal connections.
Rottnest Air Taxi gives FlyOnE a working passenger network to learn from in Perth. Through Lilypad Elevate, we’re bringing those lessons to Brisbane and South East Queensland as the region prepares for 2032.
Our ambition is to lead the rollout of electric and hybrid-electric air taxi services at scale, starting with the short routes we know and taking the model to similar destinations around the world.
