Amphibian aircraft fill a special niche in an increasingly populous world. Whether it is connecting communities on islands, rivers or lakes to major transport hubs, delivering people or important supplies to shipping, responding to emergencies at sea, or delivering aid following natural disasters where other infrastructure has been damaged, they provide useful capacity and speed at unmatched affordability.
AAI is the holder of U.S. Federal Aviation Administration "Type Certificate" for the HU-16 and G-111 Albatross amphibious aircraft. As the Type Certificate holder for the Albatross family of aircraft, we are committed to updating and improving what is already an exceptional platform.
