Aussie scheduled and charter airline Northern Territory Air Services has signed a Letter of Intent for 20 all-electric Alice commuter aircraft from manufacturer Eviation Aircraft.
The Eviation Alice is the first flight-proven all-electric commuter aircraft of its scale – capable of carrying nine passengers.
It uses magniX’s electric propulsion system, offering a flying ranging of 150 miles to 250 miles.
NTAS is based in Alice Springs, providing a link to major airlines for passengers arriving and departing from Alice Springs, Uluru and Mt. Isa Airports.
It specializes in scheduled and charter air services for business groups, private and tourist travel.
Ian Scheyer, CEO of Northern Territory Air Services, said: “Eviation’s all-electric Alice aircraft provides us with the opportunity to chart a sustainable path forward in connecting communities across the country.”
“With the adoption of electric aviation, we will be able to provide cost-effective and convenient passenger and cargo flights across the outback.”
