Will the Draught/Eternal Bond chocobos be able to fly?

Havent heard anything about this? I hope they can

Yes .

Ah good, I hadn't heard them mentioned specifically, do you have a link to the confirmation? (if you still have it :p)

I'm just curious as to whether existing aerial mounts will be able to fly, such as the Ahriman or my Bomb Palanquin. If so then good, because it wouldn't make much sense for them not to be. If not, then I guess my Griffon mount will get some use after all......

I cant find where exactly the specific quote about the 2 man chocobos are, but it has been stated that they will be able to fly as well as the company chocobo, the fat chocobo, legacy chocobos, and a new black chocobo. (the quote is from here.)

Q: Do you plan on making it so our chocobo companions can become flying mounts?
A: Yes, we have plans to do this. There will be a special quest, and by clearing it your chocobo companion will be able to fly.

Heres the quote on the Company Chocobo.
The flying Fat Chocobo can be seen here.

Yup, the Logistics System and Kirin are also included in getting flying upgrades as well.

Q: Do you have plans to make the ahriman, bomb palanquin, and other existing mounts into flying mounts?
A: While it won’t be at the launch of Heavensward, we do plan on addressing this. We’ll need to create the takeoff and landing animations for each one. It will be a gradual process, but you’ll be able to fly with them eventually.

In order to make this happen, both takeoff and landing animations will have to be created for each mount, so this will be a gradual process. You can expect to fly with each one eventually though, so keep your eyes peeled for more information in the future!

I think all the primal ponies will be getting a flying upgrade, but I'm not too sure where to find a quote if they are.

While it sucks that they won't be available at launch, I can understand the delay. Still, the simple fact that I'll be able to one day sit in my bomb chair as I calmly soar through the skies is awesome.....

Still havent come across any sources that confirms these will fly, perhaps a community team member can confirm it for us?

SirDiscoFrog above provided one for general mounts. That last quote he used is a post by one of the community reps that confirms that existing mounts will slowly be granted the ability to fly as animations are created, (you can click the "fast forward" icon beside the name in the quote to see the original post). As his link provided shows, the Fat Chocobo at least will be included as a flying mount as well. While there isn't anything that specifically mentions the two you are curious about, I would personally consider this to be enough evidence that they either will be at start, will be able to after a certain quest, or will have the ability added in the future.....

True, though the two seaters are different in respect to the rest of them, since they have never been specifically mentioned, there might be a chance they have issues with having two players on a flying mount at the moment. Don't misunderstand me though, I'm not meaning to read between the lines or anything, it could be that they simply just forgot to mention them, lol.

I do apologize for not being able to find the specific forum post where they said it ^^' I remember seeing it, but if it helps think of it this way, if the smaller basic chocobos can fly they most likely will be giving the 2man ones the same treatment. Being the type of rewards they are for the Eternal Bond and for the Recruitment System I can't see them not including them in the upgrade. Plus they have larger wings :D

But just in case it would be awesome if a Dev could come in here and confirm it if true <3 <3 <3

...it's confirmed to be true lol. A quick google should give you sufficient information.
