US-based charter carrier JSX has inked a Letter of Intent (LoI) with Swedish aeroplane maker Heart Aerospace to buy 50 of the latter’s ES-30 hybrid-electric aircraft, with an option to purchase an additional 50.

The ES-30 is a regional aeroplane with a standard seating capacity for 30 passengers. On electric power alone, it can travel up to 200km. The hybrid range, on the other hand, is 400km. Its maker claims a range of up to 800km with 25 passengers aboard while complying with the typical airline reserves.

Heart Aerospace has received 250 firm orders for the ES-30, with options and purchase rights for an additional 120 aircraft. Post the latest LOI with JSX, the manufacturer’s count of LOIs has risen to 192.
