ES-30 is the future of regional aviation.

The first clean-sheet regional aircraft in decades, purpose-built to restore short-haul viability.

  • Cost

    Substantially lower total operating cost, improving even more as technology evolves.

  • Climate

    Zero CO₂ emissions on short routes.

  • Crew

    Designed for single-pilot ops from entry into service, with autonomy introduced over time.

  • Fees

    Positioned for aeronautical fee incentives as authorities favor sustainable aircraft.

  • Maintenance

    Electric propulsion and simplified electric aircraft systems reduce maintenance overhead.

  • Energy

    Electricity offers significant cost advantage and lower price volatility compared to jet fuel.

Right-sized range for regional networks.

125 miles of all-electric flight and 500 miles of hybrid range designed for the world's most popular short‑haul corridors.

  • Americas

    Enables airlines to electrify regional flying in the world's largest domestic aviation market, where sub-500-mile routes dominate.

  • Europe

    Covers the vast majority of intra EU routes. 500-mile hybrid range exceeds nearly all short haul European city pairs.
