Launch Programme

Be the airline that writes the non‑CO₂ playbook.

DM‑XTech is seeking a Tier‑1 partner for a Q1/Q3 2026 commercial flight demonstration. The goal: generate primary NEATS data and a public, defensible proof of tLCAF’s contrail and SOx reductions ahead of the March 31 2026 reporting deadline and beyond.

Who This Programme is Designed For

Potential Target Flight Demonstration Partners

Virgin Atlantic

Primary
Why:

“Flight 100” established Virgin as a SAF pioneer. tLCAF enables a “Flight 200” narrative: we eliminated the contrails SAF alone could not.

Angle:

Combine brand capital with NEATS‑ready primary data and UK Jet Zero leadership.

Lufthansa Group

Secondary
Why:

Deep technical capability and active participation in contrail‑avoidance trials (D‑KULT, CICONIA).

Angle:

Use tLCAF to compare “clean path + dirty fuel” vs “dirty path + clean fuel” and discover the optimal operating model.

easyJet

Tertiary
Why:

High‑frequency operations in congested European airspace where rerouting is operationally painful.

Angle:

tLCAF tackles contrails inside the fuel tank, preserving schedule integrity and slot performance.
