Global airlines are stepping up plans to tackle climate change as they face mounting pressure from regulators and environmental groups over the impact of billions of extra passengers expected to take to the skies in coming decades.
Sweden-based Heart's electric-hybrid aircraft under development will have capacity for up to 30 passengers and generate zero emissions when they enter service, which is expected in 2028, Canada's largest carrier said in a release.Air Canada's agreement, which also includes a $5 million equity stake in Heart Aerospace, follows a 2021 deal by U.S. carrier United Airlines UAL.O to acquire 100 19-seat planes from the startup.
Interesting.
are they gonna fly from terminal 1 to terminal 2?
Going off the grid for airplanes? I wonder if, like tesla, they need to be charged by the grid. If i'm in LA and the socialist government in sacramento restricts the use of the power grid, will they give me a free hotel stay in beverley hills? Probably not. I'm on my own .
I’ll walk!
Ain't flying onn an electric airplane!!
Screw air canada never again
HAHAHAH STOP IT 🤣🤣
No chance we will ever fly on an electric plane. Ever. AirCanada
Planes for liberals and their supporters
Hard pass
If Taxpayers gave these guys over 5 billion in low interest loans that should be paid back first
Clean sustainable battery energy 🌎
I bet they are getting a much better % of a government rebate than us buying an ev
Yikes
They should fix the customers service issues they have before even committing to buying new planes.
How heavy will the battery be? 🤣🤣
I don’t wanna fly on them anymore
How bout they hire another 5000 baggage handlers instead!
Will their Batteries be as bad as every other EV with a chance to fail under operation?
How do they perform in -50 degree temperatures?
Just imagine the cost of the extension cords!!!
Another HUGE waist of tax dollars. Will we be bailing them out again soon?!
JustinTrudeau should travel in those to set an example
I see a new season of '' Air Disasters'' coming up soon .
I foresee this ending poorly
That’s a big no for me
pass on that.
Insane 😡
