Guy Haydon – From EVs to EPs: Guy Hayden on Electrifying Air Travel

About the episode:

Join us on Wicked Problems as we explore the groundbreaking world of electric aircraft with Guy Hayden, Chief Commercial Officer at Aerovolt. Discover the challenges and innovations driving this nascent industry, from lightweight aircraft to electric vertical take-off taxis. Guy shares exclusive insights into the first public electric aircraft charging network, the parallels with early EV development, and what the future of sustainable aviation could hold. Plus, don’t miss hints about a thrilling race between an electric car and a plane!

Guest Name: Guy Haydon

Guy Haydon is the Chief Commercial Officer at Aerovolt, the disruptor building the world’s first public charging network for electric aircraft. With charge points already installed at seven UK airports, and over 300 in the pipeline, Aerovolt is transforming the future of flight. The company is in talks with nearly 120 more airports to expand its simple, user-friendly rapid chargers across prime airfield locations, both in the UK and internationally. 

The company’s vision goes beyond infrastructure, aiming to make the UK a global leader in electric aviation by supporting manufacturers and tackling key challenges like range anxiety and operational costs.

Haydon’s journey from an aspiring Navy pilot—an ambition derailed by a peanut allergy—to leading the charge in electric mobility is one of resilience and adaptability. In this episode, he shares Aerovolt’s bold plans for growth, the critical need for investment, and how the team is laying the groundwork for a cleaner, more sustainable future of flight.
