AURA AERO clears permit for 50,000 m² Toulouse factory to industrialise 19‑seat hybrid ERA

AURA AERO has received a building permit for its AURA Factory at Toulouse‑Francazal, a 50,000 m² production site intended to support development and manufacture of its mid‑2026 trainer and the 19‑seat ERA hybrid‑electric regional airliner targeted for 2030. The permit marks a decisive step toward industrialisation and scaling.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The permit unlocks a 50,000 m² production site at Toulouse‑Francazal that directly supports Aura’s timelines for a mid‑2026 trainer and a 2030 entry for the 19‑seat ERA, and underpins fulfilment after Aura’s first firm ERA order (first firm ERA order).

  • Establishing the factory in Toulouse embeds Aura in a deep European aerospace ecosystem and supply chain, strengthening its ability to scale hybrid‑electric production while competing in regional decarbonisation programmes (Airbus ZEROe hydrogen regional work) and leveraging Toulouse’s industrial cluster (Toulouse aerospace ecosystem).
