The electric aircraft will be certified for commercial flights by 2028.
- Together with the entire industry, we have the responsibility to make air travel more sustainable.
SAS is dedicated to transforming aviation so that coming generations can continue connecting the world and enjoy the benefits of travel - but with a more sustainable footprint. The letter of support withHeart Aerospace is an important step in that direction, saysSAS President & CEO Anko van der Werff.
The ES-30 has a fully electric range of 200 kilometers. A reserve-hybrid system is installed to secure reserve energy requirements without cannibalizing battery range, and it can also be used during cruise on longer flights to complement the electrical power provided by the batteries. This gives the ES-30 an extended range of 400 kilometers with 30 passengers, and flexibility to fly up to 800 kilometers with 25 passengers, all-inclusive of typical airline reserves.
- The electric aircraft will be a great complement to our existing fleet serving shorter and thinner routes in
Denmark ,Norway andSweden , in a more sustainable way. The innovation and new technology this represents will take us towards our future goal of becoming a zero-emission industry, he concludes.
