Lygg offers private flights at the price of commercial, and yet, we are not an airline.
As a part of the Smart Mobility sector, Lygg develops hardware & software platforms to operate a flymaas business (MaaS with flying as a component). Using a dynamic platform, we create a dynamic routing and aggregate clients travelling needs with the Lygg App.
The added value of Lygg’s platform is deploying aircraft assets, optimising, and rightsizing them subject to any given demand. This means environmentally friendly travel chain solutions. Lygg will ensure sustainability from the beginning of its operations by overcompensation of the emissions. In the future the platform will enable faster adaptation of zero emission flights with electric airplanes or any other aviation cleantech innovations.
Lygg transforms Europe into a singular commuter area. We can offer door to door travel time of less than 2 hours with zero emissions and in the future, with electric planes.
Lygg means smart mobility from fly MaaS to fly masses. Travel your life will love.
