Aviator and explorer Loïc Blaise opened the last unexplored air route in 2018, alongside cosmonaut Valery Tokarev: the first round-the-world trip through the Arctic Circle, aboard a prototype ultralight seaplane.

Six years earlier, however, doctors told him he could no longer fly as multiple sclerosis deprived him of his flight license.

For Loïc Blaise, the health of our bodies, communities and environment is one single battle. To prove that point, he traveled through 3 continents, 3 oceans, 7 seas, 9 countries and more than 25,000 kilometers on an incredible aeronautical adventure, sending a message of concrete hope in his wake: there is no fatality unless we give up. Since then, he has continued his Arctic adventures with young people from all walks of life, in collaboration with indigenous communities and universities.

Not intending to stop there, Loïc is about to take off for a new odyssey: Plane B, a Net Zero and self-sufficient world tour focused on youth and resilience, aboard a 100% clean plane, connecting the most endangered ecosystems and peoples of our planet.
