Bye Aerospace receives first orders for electric 9-seater
The American manufacturer Bye Aerospace has received two orders for its eight- to nine-seat electric aircraft eFlyer 800 – both of which have already been deposited with deposits. In addition, Bye Aerospace is further developing the four-seat eFlyer 4.
The orders for the eFlyer 800 come from Skye Aviation and Rheinland Air Service. Skye has ordered 15, but does not intend to operate them itself: Skye Aviation is an aircraft leasing company based in Denver, Colorado.
“Skye Aviation is the first all-electric aircraft leasing company in the world,” said George E. Bye, CEO of Bye Aerospace. “We are honored by their selection of the eFlyer 800 to be the foundation for their fleet, and we applaud their forward-reaching strategy. Momentum for electric aviation continues to grow at an incredible pace.”
