AutoFlight V2000CG CarryAll Receives World's First Validated Type Certificate for an eVTOL from Indonesia
AutoFlight's V2000CG CarryAll eVTOL has been awarded a Validated Type Certificate (VTC) by Indonesia's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), making it the world's first eVTOL to receive a foreign validated type certification. The VTC confirms that the V2000CG's design meets the airworthiness standards of both China's CAAC and Indonesia's DGCA, marking a significant milestone in eVTOL commercialization.
Highlights
- AutoFlight's V2000CG CarryAll has received a Validated Type Certificate (VTC) from Indonesia's DGCA, becoming the world's first eVTOL to achieve a foreign validated type certification.
- The VTC confirms the V2000CG meets airworthiness standards of both China's CAAC (original Type Certificate issuer) and Indonesia's DGCA.
- The certification gives AutoFlight a regulatory foundation to pursue commercial eVTOL cargo operations across Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia's island-heavy geography.
- AutoFlight's VTC achievement sets a global precedent for cross-border eVTOL type certificate validation and is expected to accelerate international certification cooperation in the industry.
AutoFlight's V2000CG CarryAll electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft has been awarded a Validated Type Certificate (VTC) by Indonesia's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), officially making it the world's first eVTOL to receive a foreign validated type certification — a landmark achievement in aviation history.
Dual Airworthiness Recognition Sets an International Benchmark
The VTC formally confirms that the V2000CG CarryAll's airframe design meets the airworthiness standards of two major civil aviation authorities:
- Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC): The authority that issued the V2000CG's original Type Certificate
- Directorate General of Civil Aviation of Indonesia (DGCA): The authority that issued the Validated Type Certificate
This means the V2000CG has not only passed domestic airworthiness review in China but has also gained recognition in an international market, laying a critical foundation for AutoFlight to pursue commercial operations across Southeast Asia.
About the V2000CG CarryAll
The V2000CG CarryAll is AutoFlight's eVTOL purpose-built for cargo logistics. Its vertical take-off and landing capability allows it to carry out supply transport missions without requiring a runway, making it well suited for island logistics, remote-area delivery, and emergency cargo deployment — applications that align closely with the practical geographic needs of the Indonesian archipelago.
A New Global Benchmark for eVTOL Certification
The significance of AutoFlight securing Indonesia's VTC extends well beyond market access in a single country. It establishes a precedent for foreign validated type certification in the global eVTOL industry. For other eVTOL manufacturers also seeking international market entry, AutoFlight's success provides an important reference case.
As the global eVTOL market continues to expand, bilateral and multilateral cooperation mechanisms between civil aviation authorities on mutual type certificate validation will become increasingly important. AutoFlight's breakthrough is expected to help accelerate international collaboration on certification standards across the industry.
