Product|AIR Files U.S. PMTA for Crown Switch. Can Greentank's Chip Technology Deliver a Compliance and Competitive Advantage?
AIR Global PLC (NASDAQ: AIIR) announced on November 5, 2026, that it had submitted a Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Crown Switch, its rechargeable pod vape platform. First launched in Germany in November 2025, the device uses Quantum Chip atomization technology developed by Canadian vaporization technology company Greentank Innovations. German retail versions feature 2mL prefilled pods containing 18mg/mL nicotine in six flavors, while AIR has separately tested two 5% nicotine formulations intended for U.S. development. AIR invested $20 million in Greentank in July and reported approximately $3.4 million in U.S. PMTA-related regulatory costs for the first nine months of 2026.
