Autonomous Crop Protection Aircraft Order Secured by Pyka from Synerjet for 60 Units

In a significant move for the agricultural technology sector, Pyka, a pioneering company in the development of safe, environmentally-friendly, and cost-effective autonomous electric airplanes for crop protection and cargo delivery, has finalized an order for 60 Pelican aircraft from Synerjet, a leading aircraft dealer in Latin America [1]. This partnership marks Pyka’s first authorized distribution in Brazil, positioning the company well within the extensive and technologically progressive agricultural sector of the country [3].

Synerjet, based in Latin America and the Caribbean, is a leading aviation solutions provider known for its expertise in aircraft sales, technical support, and after-sales services [2]. The company will handle sales, training, and technical support for Brazilian growers adopting Pyka’s Pelican platform, facilitating market penetration and local adaptation of the technology [1].

The agreement includes a firm order for 60 Pelican 2 aircraft, with deliveries beginning in August 2025 [1][4]. The Pelican 2 is the world’s largest autonomous fixed-wing agricultural aircraft, capable of spraying crops day and night with no onboard pilot risk [1][2][3]. This deal accelerates Pyka’s commercial growth in Brazil by leveraging Synerjet’s local expertise and commercial track record [3].

Michael Norcia, CEO of Pyka, expressed his excitement about supporting Brazil's global powerhouse in agricultural production. He stated, "We are proud to bring our proven technology to Brazil and support its growers with safe, environmentally-friendly, and cost-effective solutions." Fabio Rebello, CEO of Synerjet, echoed this sentiment, expressing his excitement about bringing Pyka's level of innovation to Brazilian agriculture [1].

The event underscored a shared focus on expanding access to advanced, sustainable aviation technology across one of the world’s largest agricultural markets [5]. This partnership reflects shared goals to enhance operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness for Brazilian growers while promoting ESG practices across locations [1][3].
