Sirius Aviation AG has partnered with Marathon Group Australia and Siemens to develop zero-emission airports, beginning with West Sale Airport in Victoria.
It has just been announced that Sirius Aviation AG, an innovator in aviation, has signed a partnership deal with Marathon Group Australia (alongside Siemens), a leader in hydrogen and renewable energy, to help start developing zero-emission airports across the country, starting first at West Sale Airport in Victoria.
This pioneering alliance aims to revolutionize the industry by developing and integrating cutting-edge hydrogen technologies, positioning Australia at the forefront of sustainable aviation.
To help us break down this deal and changes for the future, we exclusively spoke to Alexey Popov, the CEO of Sirius Aviation AG, and Brett Singh, the CEO of Marathon Group Australia, to find out more.
1. To start off, you need to tell us how did the partnership with Marathon Group and its technology partner Siemens come to be?
Alexey Popov: Our partnership with Marathon Group Australia, which collaborates with Siemens as their technology partner, emerged from a shared vision to revolutionize aviation and airport infrastructure for a more environmentally friendly future. After discovering the potential of our Sirius Jet, Marathon Group reached out to our Communications team. They expressed interest in using our aircraft for Australia’s largest offshore wind turbine project, which will provide electricity to Victoria as coal mines close by 2035. Initial discussions quickly led to a series of meetings, and within two weeks, the partnership was solidified. We are now working together to set new standards for zero-emission travel.
Brett Singh: From the outset, it was evident that Sirius Aviation AG’s technology was a perfect fit for our projects, especially with Australia’s largest offshore wind turbine initiative. I was impressed by how well their hydrogen-powered aircraft complemented our vision for sustainable infrastructure. After reaching out to their team, and with Siemens’ valuable input, it became clear that this partnership offered significant mutual benefits. The jets’ stability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness make them ideal for large-scale projects like offshore wind farms. Our collaboration extends beyond transport, encompassing hydrogen storage, refueling technologies, and the development of sustainable aviation infrastructure.
2. Out of all the countries, why has Sirius Aviation AG targeted Australia as a prime destination to create change within sustainable aviation?
Alexey Popov: Australia is uniquely positioned for sustainable aviation due to its abundant renewable energy resources, vast geographical area, and strong governmental support for sustainability. The country’s significant solar and wind resources facilitate the production of green hydrogen, which is central to our zero-emission vision. Partnering with Marathon Group allows us to integrate hydrogen production with existing renewable projects, advancing Australia’s renewable energy goals. This collaboration not only supports Australia’s transition to a low-carbon economy but also sets a model for sustainable aviation that can be replicated globally.
3. Where in Australia are you targeting creating these zero-emission airports, or which airports currently to revamp?
Brett Singh: Our immediate focus is on West Sale Airport in Victoria, which is pivotal for the offshore wind turbine project. This site will serve as a model for our zero-emission vision, demonstrating the integration of hydrogen technologies. Additionally, we are targeting Bankstown Airport in Sydney, the busiest general aviation airport in Australia; which has already approved hydrogen refueling capabilities. These airports will serve as early adopters of our zero-emission infrastructure, with the next steps involving coordination with local authorities, corporates, and government departments to build the necessary infrastructure.
4. Will this cost passengers more or less for flights in the future at airports?
Alexey Popov: Hydrogen technologies not only advance our environmental goals but also offer economic advantages. Hydrogen is projected to be cheaper than traditional jet fuels now, and Sirius Jets operate at up to eight times lower costs than conventional light jets. This cost efficiency will enable us to offer more affordable regional travel options, making sustainable aviation a viable option for more passengers.
Brett Singh: The integration of hydrogen technology and the use of Sirius Jets are expected to reduce operational costs significantly. Hydrogen fuel is more cost-effective than traditional jet fuels, which we anticipate will lead to lower ticket prices. Our goal is to make sustainable air travel more accessible by providing cost-effective regional travel options, benefiting a broader community.
5. What other “sustainable infrastructures” will you be developing and putting into place?
Alexey Popov: Our partnership focuses on more than just airports. We are developing vertiports, enhancing hydrogen production, distribution networks, and integrating these infrastructures with renewable energy sources. Sirius Jet’s point-to-point flights provide flexibility, enabling us to meet diverse needs such as cargo transport, crew transport, business travel, and air ambulance services– all while upholding our commitment to sustainability.
Brett Singh: In addition to zero-emission airports, we are committed to creating a comprehensive ecosystem of sustainable infrastructure. This includes integrating renewable energy sources like solar and wind with hydrogen production, advancing hydrogen storage and refuelling capabilities, and developing green transportation solutions for airport connectivity. Our vision extends to creating sustainable buildings, implementing advanced waste management systems, and ensuring that every aspect of our operations contributes to a greener future.
6. When do you foresee your goals being completed by, and which government officials have been supporting your efforts (if you can say)?
Alexey Popov: We plan to deliver the first Sirius Jet in 2028, marking a significant milestone in our zero-emission aviation journey. Our efforts are supported by various levels of government, although specific names cannot be disclosed at this time. Their backing is crucial for overcoming the regulatory and logistical challenges of introducing new technologies and infrastructure.
Brett Singh: We are working closely with government bodies that support our vision of a zero-emission future. The Australian government’s commitment to sustainability has been a key driver of our initiatives, and we are grateful for the support we have received. By working together, we can ensure that our projects align with broader national goals and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future for Australia and beyond.
7. What other countries are you looking at expanding into with your jets and airports? Is London on the list?
Alexey Popov: Our expansion plans are global. We have received orders from Australia and India, and are in advanced negotiations with customers in the United States and Europe. London is also on our list, particularly for routes like London to Monaco. Our point-to-point zero-emission Sirius Jets will offer a direct, private, and environmentally friendly travel experience, reducing travel time, operational expenses, and environmental impact.
Brett Singh: Expanding into new markets is a key part of our strategy. We are targeting regions with strong demand for sustainable aviation solutions. By providing a green alternative, we aim to set a new standard for global aviation. London, among other key locations, will benefit from our innovative approach.

Swiss startup Sirius Aviation has revealed more details about its planned pair of hydrogen-electric business aircraft. At the Move Expo in London late last week, the company made a joint presentation with BMW Group Designworks, with which it is partnered in developing two variants of the design that it aims to bring to market in 2028.
Building on plans first announced in January, Sirius Aviation has now rebranded the aircraft as the CEO Jet and the Adventure Jet. It appears to be targeting corporate customers with the former model, and the leisure/charter market with the latter.
Sirius now says that both aircraft will have a range of 1,000 nm and will operate at speeds of 281 knots. In January, it said that what it then referred to as the three-passenger Sirius Business Jet would be able to fly that far, but that the larger Sirius Millenium Jet would seat up to five passengers with a range of just 565 nm.
Both versions are expected to be able to fly at altitudes of up to 30,000 feet. According to Sirius, refueling the aircraft with gaseous hydrogen for its fuel cells will cost around $500, based on its assessment of market prices in 2028. The Adventure Jet is expected to be able to operate from locations that do not have a prepared runway.
According to Sirius and BMW, the cabin of the CEO Jet will feature “bespoke bathrooms,” champagne fridges, and pet accommodation for “discerning travelers.” They claimed the Adventure Jet will boast an “exploration-ready design.”
Sirius said its proprietary propulsion system will use hydrogen fuel cells to power 28 ducted fans, 20 of which are mounted to the aircraft’s main wing while eight are in the canard. The ducted fan concept is somewhat reminiscent of the battery-electric Lilium Jet eVTOL. However, Sirius has incorporated a V-shaped tail, whereas Lilium has mounted the wing at the rear of the fuselage.
“We’re bridging the gap for individuals who aspire to own a business jet with pride in a future that values eco-consciousness,” said Sirius CEO Alexey Popov. “Our customers will inspire admiration and respect, fostering a culture of positivity rather than judgment or criticism.”
According to Popov, engineering work on both aircraft began three years ago and, supported by Israeli aerospace engineering group ALD, Sirius aims to have the certification basis approved by the FAA in mid-2025. It is targeting the completion of type certification by around mid-2028.
The company is now building a full-scale mockup of the CEO-Jet that it expects to exhibit at the MEBAA business aviation show in Dubai this November. A flyable prototype is expected to be built by the third quarter of 2025.
Sirius faces competition from French startup Beyond Aero, which is working on its own hydrogen-electric business aircraft. In May, the company confirmed the BYA-I aircraft is now expected to carry between six and eight passengers, with a range of 800 nm and a cruise speed of 310 knots.
Beyond Aero has already built and flown a subscale 85-kilowatt technology demonstrator. The Toulouse-based team is now working on a 1-MW-class propulsion system to drive a pair of ducted fans at the rear of the fuselage. Initially, these will run on gaseous hydrogen, but the company aims to switch to liquid hydrogen when this is viable.
This story was updated on June 28 to include further information provided by Sirius.

Sydney-based aircraft sales team David Crawford and Olivia Sainsbury have scored a coup by being appointed global distributors for the revolutionary Swiss-built Sirius Jet convertiplane.
Through their company Boss N Queen, the former Cirrus executives have been charged with creating a world-wide distribution network ready for when the hydrogen-powered transporter enters service some time in 2028.
And with that comes the exciting news that the very first certified Sirius Jet will be delivered into the hands of a customer in Australia.
The Sirius Jet is a clean-sheet eVTOL design that uses a hydrogen-electric power train to drive 28 300 mm 1 kN electric engines. Performance projections show a cruise altitude of 25,000 feet at a speed of 280 knots, producing less than 60 db of noise.
Built in Switzerland in collaboration with BMW, the Sirius Jet comes from the inspiration of former Antonov executives Alexey Popov and Oleksandr Los, who state their mission as guiding the regional aviation industry into a sustainable future using hydrogen energy.
The result is an aircraft that is creating new envelopes in terms of construction, design, powertrain and capability.
"This is a traditional jet in performance, in terms of a light jet, so its range is 1100 nm, flies at flight levels, but it also has vertical take-off and landing, and runs on hydrogen fuel," Crawford told Australian Flying this week. "The running cost is about eight times less than a traditional light jet. And it's carbon-neutral.
"So it's differentiated from both eVTOLs and traditional jet lights."
"And it's point-to-point, so it doesn't need an airport runway," Sainsbury added, "but it can land at an airport on a runway."
The capabilities of the Sirius Jet sound very much like those emanating from the urban mobility industry at the moment, but Crawford and Sainsbury are keen not to place their product in the eVTOL box.
"This is a convertiplane," Crawford stressed. "An eVTOL is vertical take-off and landing, point-to-point air taxi effectively, flying under 10,000 feet doing 30-60 minute hops.
"The Sirius is a transporter for long-haul regional travel; Brisbane to Melbourne direct in about three hours. It has the sort of performance you would expect from a traditional jet."
Two versions of the jet are being marketed at the moment: the long-range CEO and short-range Adventure. The CEO model has a range of 1150 nm carrying three pax, whilst the Adventure will haul pilot plus five, but the range is reduced to 570 nm. Seats are traded for fuel capacity, although Sirius will offer an optional extra fuel tank for the Adventure to extend the range.
Whilst the CEO is about point-to-point personal transport, the Adventure is about taking you just about anywhere you like.
Boss N Queen see either version fitting in well with Australian customers, and are expecting half-a-dozen entries in the order book by the end of the year. Three are already confirmed, with the first certified production aircraft scheduled for our shores.
"We have four targets markets in Australia," Crawford explained. "The first one is the private owner who has multiple businesses in multiple locations; who has to get from, say, Brisbane to Armidale to Innisfail in one day.
"Currently they would take a private jet or travel commercially, whereas the Sirius jet can take them point-to-point. You could fly to a winery in Orange direct from Brisbane and not have to fly into Orange Airport and drive out to the winery.
"Secondly, the corporate market. Every company in the world now is trying to figure out how to have a carbon-neutral footprint and have zero emissions. The Sirius is an alternative to flying executives in jets and will definitely reduce their company's carbon footprint.
"Obviously that's going to be very valuable for some of the largest companies in the world, so we're planning to market strategically to the larger corporations and government departments.
"Thirdly, the charter market. Air charter in Australia is a struggling industry. It costs someone $3-4000 to get a seat on a private jet. If you book a jet from Brisbane to Sydney it will cost you $20,000 regardless of the number of seats.
"A Sirius jet will move people around for about $100 per hour. In terms of economy, we will be able to increase the number of people that will have access to private travel.
"There is also the traditional market of pilots who are flying a Cessna or a Cirrus," Sainsbury chipped in with the fourth. "They will find the Sirius attractive as well."
Their coal-face experience at Cirrus has given them strong insight into the demands and trends of customer investing in new aircraft, and they understand the value of an aeroplane that will provide jet performance at the operating cost of an SR22. But with a sticker price of $US 4-6 million, surely the Australian market will baulk at signing order forms?
"There are plenty of customers out there happy to pay $3.5-4 million for a Cirrus Vision jet," Crawford believes, "but they were not happy with paying $1500 per hour to operate it!
"The ongoing operating costs are more of a stumbling block than the initial capital outlay. That's why the SR22 is so successful: even with the high cost of purchase, the operating cost is quite low.
"So there is money around to buy an asset, but there's not a lot around to operate the asset."
According to Olivia Sainsbury, the BMW connection is also proving an attraction for customers.
"We brought BMW on board and they have 100% confidence in the product," she said. "And I think we're going to see a shift in customers; people who ordinarily wouldn't have thought of buying their own plane and hiring a pilot.
"We want to make it accessible to more people, and it's BMW's job to make it attractive and ready for the customer. Just having BMW as a collaborator tells the world that this is something we have put a lot of thought into."
But when it comes to highly-efficient, futuristic designs, general aviation doesn't have a good track record in adopting them in large numbers. Ask Beechcraft about their Starship experience. So is the Sirius Jet too far ahead of its time? Crawford doesn't believe so.
"The market is very ready for this aircraft," he said "If you look at sales figures from our competitors in the eVTOL market, they're all selling thousands of units. Hills Helicopter has 1300 units on order and haven't built a helicopter yet! Lilium has over 1000 on order and still doesn't have an aeroplane.
"The market is ready for hydrogen and the future; it's just a matter of delivering the product."
And on the subject of deliveries, Sirius Aviation already has 113 firm orders from around the world with Crawford and Sainsbury expanding on that almost every week.
A demonstrator is scheduled by the end of this year, and the first flight in April-May 2025. That first delivery into Australia should happen in 2028.
By that time, Australia should have a plethora of vertiports in urban areas and a network of hydrogen refueling stations along the eastern seaboard to facilitate aircraft like the Sirius Jet as they revolutionise general aviation as we know it.
