On April 19, 2022, St Vincent Times posted a Carib Journal report that Cape Air has signed a letter of intent to purchase 75 electric Alice commuter aircraft, making it the first low-cost electric airline in the Caribbean.
According to Jessica Pruss, vice president of sales at EVIATION, “truly sustainable aviation not only reduces the impact of air travel on the environment but also makes business sense.
“We are pleased to partner with Cape Air, a recognised leader in regional air travel, to provide innovative solutions that benefit airline operators, passengers, communities, and society.”
Taking a pioneering step into the sustainable era of aviation, the company says it wants to set up an unparalleled electric fleet for regional travel, the report noted.
With a range of up to 440 nautical miles and a top speed of 250 knots, EVIATION Alice is the world’s first fully-electric aircraft.
