We’re bringing all-electric aviation to Wales

“When founding Barcud Air, I didn’t just think ‘Wouldn’t all-electric flight be cool’ – I saw that we have an infrastructure gap in Cymru and knew that I wanted to build a sustainable business to fill that gap.

Why must it take us 3 hours in the car to get from the middle of the country to anywhere else? Why must it take 2.5 hours from Cardiff to Aberystwyth in the car and 5 hours on a train?

At Barcud Air we say ‘It doesn’t have to, not anymore.’ We’ll deliver services that get you around Cymru quickly and sustainably. We don’t need new road, rail, or runways – we use the sea and the small airfields already here.

We’ll make Cardiff Bay to Aberystwyth Bay in 30minutes.

Working with our all-electric, international partners we want to take you and yours to every compass point of Wales.

We have the expertise and the government to deliver greener transport, to strengthen the Foundational Economy, and to future proof Wales’ position as a leader in electric aviation.Why take the car? Join us in the air.”

— Ben Gwalchmai, Founder & CEO
