US Charter Operator JSX Orders Over 300 Hybrid-Electric Aircraft from Aura Aero, Electra, and Heart Aerospace

JSX, a US charter carrier, secures letters of intent for 332 hybrid-electric aircraft from three OEMs—Aura Aero, Electra, and Heart Aerospace. The orders comprise 150 Aura Aero Electric Regional Aircraft (ERA), 82 Electra eSTOL aircraft, and 100 Heart Aerospace ES-30 aircraft. JSX, planning to initiate hybrid-electric flights in 2028, aims to provide essential air service to smaller US communities with a commitment to carbon reduction and sustainability.

The orders represent a significant commitment to sustainable regional aviation, with JSX positioning itself as a leader in carbon-reducing solutions. The company, established in 2016, claims to be the largest public charter airline in the US, offering point-to-point service to twenty-four destinations. The collaboration with forward-thinking companies like Aura Aero, Electra, and Heart Aerospace aligns with JSX's dedication to reintegrate sustainable aviation into the fabric of American trade and freedom of movement.

Heart Aerospace, based in Gothenburg, develops the ES-30, a 30-passenger hybrid-electric aircraft with sustainable aviation fuel-powered turbo generators. Electra, located in Virginia, works on an electric short take-off and landing (eSTOL) aircraft, while Aura Aero, headquartered in Toulouse, France, focuses on the 19-seat Aura Aero Electric Regional Aircraft (ERA). Each company brings innovative solutions to JSX's ambitious plan for sustainable and efficient regional air travel.

With JSX's emphasis on practical, customer-friendly, and cost-effective solutions, the partnership with Aura Aero, Electra, and Heart Aerospace marks a significant milestone in advancing sustainable aviation and addressing the unique needs of smaller communities across the United States.
