<h2>About Odys</h2>Our mission at Odys is simple - we build safe, sustainable aircraft to cut travel time in half on the world's busiest corridors. Our flagship aircraft <a href="https://youtu.be/fyI4XMsF2rM">Alta enables travelers to skip the big-airport hassle</a> by using city helipads and local airports to connect cities less than 1,000 miles apart (approx 40% of flights).
