North Carolina based Jet It and JetClub announce that they\nhave entered an agreement to become the launch customers for Bye Aerospace, the\n7-passenger, all electric, twin turboprop aircraft, eFlyer 800\u2122. Jet It and JetClub, sister companies\noperating in North America and Europe respectively, have signed a purchase\nagreement for a fleet of eFlyer 800 and four eFlyer 4\u2122 aircraft. Jet It will\noperate the first fleet of electric aircraft in North America, eliminating the\nrelease of millions of metric tons of CO2 each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The evolution of travel continues with this investment\nin sustainable aviation. At $1,600 an hour, our fleet of HondaJets is by far\nthe cost leader in private travel and also, given the incredibly low-carbon\nfootprint of the HondaJet, extremely friendly to the environment. The operating efficiency and zero emissions\nof the eFlyer 800 will allow Jet It and JetClub to deliver more value to\ntravelers by further reducing the cost to travel while driving towards zero net\nemissions.” says Glenn Gonzales, Co-Founder and CEO of Jet It.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slated to be in operation by 2025, the eFlyer seats up to\nseven passengers and one or two pilots. The eFlyer 800, expected to be the\nfirst-to-market all-electric seven passenger aircraft, boasts cruise speeds of\n320 knots, a ceiling of 35,000 feet, and eliminates emissions while reducing\noperating costs 5x. According to Bye Aerospace CEO, George, E. Bye, “The\nremarkable economy and flight performance from eFlyer 800 is ideal for Jet It,\nJetClub and their customers in the United States, Canada, Europe and\nbeyond.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adds Gonzales, “Sustainability is a key pillar of our\nphilosophy. We operate highly fuel-efficient HondaJets and use sustainable\nproducts in our cabin. While aviation contributes only 3% of global emissions,\nthat is not enough for us. We want to be at 0% and today with this\nannouncement, are investing towards that goal. Together with Bye Aerospace, we\nwill achieve zero emission affordable air travel this decade. This is a\nmomentous leap in aviation sustainability in our industry.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
