- First eVTOL ever validated for airworthiness outside its home country
- Cleared for commercial cargo operations in Indonesia
- Runway-free design suited to inter-island logistics across Indonesia’s 17,000-plus islands
AutoFlight’s V2000CG CarryAll has been granted a Validated Type Certificate (VTC) in Indonesia, becoming the world’s first eVTOL to secure overseas type certificate validation.
The certification confirms that the V2000CG’s design complies with the airworthiness requirements of both the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and Indonesia’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Formally issued on 3 June 2026, the certificate clears the 2-ton unmanned cargo eVTOL to begin commercial operations in the Indonesian market.
The V2000CG first obtained its Type Certificate (TC) from the CAAC in March 2024, following extensive compliance verification and flight testing. AutoFlight submitted its VTC application to the DGCA in July 2025. The validation process drew on comparative analysis of airworthiness standards, multiple rounds of technical consultation, a comprehensive documentation review, and on-site inspections in China by DGCA Indonesia, after which the DGCA confirmed full compliance with Indonesian regulations.

With more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia faces significant logistics challenges. Maritime transport is slow, while conventional air cargo depends on costly runway infrastructure. With a maximum take-off weight of 2,000 kg, a cruise speed of 200 km/h, and a range of 200 km, the V2000CG addresses these constraints through a fully electric lift-and-cruise configuration that takes off and lands vertically without runways. This makes it well suited to inter-island transport of high-value goods, including fresh produce, pharmaceuticals, and emergency supplies, and delivers a reliable low-altitude logistics solution for Southeast Asia.
The V2000CG is the only ton-class eVTOL in the world to hold the full set of CAAC airworthiness certificates of TC, Production Certificate (PC), and Airworthiness Certificate (AC). It has already demonstrated its operational capability in offshore logistics, island resupply and emergency response missions in China.
The Indonesian VTC accelerates the full industrial chain, from technical validation and airworthiness certification through to overseas commercial deployment. The milestone establishes an operational foundation for commercial eVTOL services in Southeast Asia and advances AutoFlight’s broader strategy for global market expansion.

About TC and VTC
TC (Type Certificate) refers to a certificate issued by civil aviation authorities for civil aircraft, aero-engines, or propellers, certifying that the design of the aviation product complies with the applicable airworthiness requirements. As one of the ‘Three Airworthiness Certificates’ (TC, PC, AC), it is the foundation for the legal entry of an aircraft into the domestic market and commercial operation.
VTC (Validated Type Certificate) is a validation certificate issued by the civil aviation authority of an importing country/region to a type design that has already obtained a TC in another country, certifying that the imported aviation product’s design complies with the airworthiness standards and regulations of the importing country.
The VTC is equivalent to the TC in terms of legal validity and airworthiness requirements.
