Airflow and Ravn Alaska Make Deal for 50 eSTOL Aircraft

Airflow's Total Order Book Now Stands At Over $200 Million

Airflow has signed a letter of intent with Ravn Alaska to supply 50 airplanes. This agreement brings Airflow's total order book to over $200 million for its aircraft that enables operators to expand where they can fly, improve their operating economics, and reduce emissions on a near-term timeline with entry into service planned for 2025.

"From logistics carriers to passenger airlines we hear loud and clear that demand is on the rise. At Airflow, we're partnering with companies that seek to add new aircraft with new capabilities to their fleets that are flexible, cost-effective, and carbon-neutral," said Marc Ausman, CEO and co-founder, Airflow. "The Airflow team has designed, built, and flown new aircraft on rapid timescales together before, and now we're applying those learnings to an aircraft that will improve operating economics for airlines and contribute positively to reducing aviation's carbon impact."

Airflow's hybrid-electric aircraft are reportedly able to enter into service with no new infrastructure requirements and limited certification hurdles compared to other electric aviation market entrants.

"As a regional operator, we are committed to serving the many large and small communities of Alaska. That means we are constantly seeking out new ways to deliver the best value and experience for Alaskans," said Rob McKinney, CEO, Ravn Alaska. "With Airflow, we benefit from the new capabilities the aircraft offers that open up new and different destinations, the constantly improving efficiencies of electrification, and alignment between our fleet and the rising demands of our customers to travel with the smallest carbon footprint possible."
