Dovetail Electric Aviation is a pioneering startup in the aviation industry, focusing on the electrification of regional air travel. The company's primary offering is its electric conversion integration technology, which aims to reduce operating costs of small aircraft by 40% or more, thereby potentially increasing the demand for regional air travel tenfold.

Dovetail's business model revolves around converting new and existing aircraft to electric power. They have secured commitments for hundreds of millions of conversions, with MONTE agreeing to purchase up to 50 aircraft conversions. These conversions will enable battery electric conversions on Cessna Caravan aircraft and hydrogen electric conversions on Beechcraft King Air aircraft.

The company's market is primarily regional aviation companies, with a focus on those in Europe, where it is one of the 20 largest. However, its technology has global implications, potentially revolutionizing the industry worldwide.

Dovetail's leadership team brings extensive experience in transitioning combustion-powered fleets to electric, with CEO David Doral and Cleantech advisor Michel Van Maanen leading the charge.

The company's long-term strategy involves aligning with maintenance, repair, and overhaul centres, ensuring the sustainability of their electric aircraft.

In terms of revenue, Dovetail makes money by selling its conversion services to aviation companies. The reduced operating costs offered by their technology present a compelling value proposition to these companies, making Dovetail a potentially profitable venture.
