The Future Opportunities for Seaplanes and Amphibious Aviation (FOSAA) event is set to return for its second edition in Miami in February 2025, following a successful debut in Venice earlier the same year. The inaugural FOSAA highlighted the revival of interest in amphibious aviation and seaplanes, with start-up OEMs experiencing a surge in demand for their aircraft. Notably, Jekta and ZeroAvia announced a partnership to develop a hydrogen-electric solution for amphibious aircraft, marking a significant step towards sustainable aviation. Orders for amphibious aircraft, like Jekta's PHA-ZE 100, have been placed, with a South Korean lessor agreeing to finance a substantial number of these eco-friendly planes. In addition to exploring the sector's growth potential, the 2025 FOSAA event will cover various topics such as infrastructure, tourism development, powertrain options, and environmental considerations. The event will also include networking opportunities and discussions on the environmental impact of amphibious aviation, emphasizing the industry's commitment to sustainability. With industry leaders like Tropic Ocean Airlines' CEO Rob Ceravolo sharing insights, the event aims to facilitate knowledge sharing and foster collaboration within the amphibious aviation community. The choice of Miami as the event's location is strategic, attracting interest from resort developers, the yachting industry, and tourism providers, underscoring the sector's broad appeal and promising future.
