Air Cahana Signs Up for 250 Zero-Avia Hydrogen-electric Engines

Our Bureau - : Jun 24, 2023 - : 3:07 am

ZeroAvia has signed an agreement to provide 250 hydrogen-electric ZA2000 engines to Flyshare during the ongoing show.

Flyshare will operate under the name of Air Cahana and pioneer disruptive sustainable regional air service in California and the West Coast of the United States.

Los Angeles-based Air Cahana, the first airline launched solely with a mission to decarbonize aviation, will deliver sustainable flight, beginning with Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), and then adopt zero emission propulsion technology as the technology enters the market. The company is targeting operations of turboprops using ZeroAvia’s zero-emission propulsion systems, in order to play its part in delivering a third golden era of aviation powered by clean flight.

ZeroAvia’s novel powertrain uses hydrogen fuel in fuel cells to generate electricity and thus power electric motors to fly the aircraft with effectively zero-emissions.

​The partners will now collaborate on identifying the roll-out for hydrogen-electric aircraft, enhancing the prospects of zero-emission commercial flights between metropolitan areas on the West Coast of the U.S. and beyond within the next five years.

“Launching a new airline is not a small challenge, but Air Cahana has an enormous advantage and can unlock a new market by being the earliest to realize the enormous operating savings and zero-emissions benefits of hydrogen-electric engines,” said James Peck, Chief Customer Officer, ZeroAvia.

“We are at a turning point in aviation as we harness the power of hydrogen,” said Tony Thompson, CEO of Air Cahana. “By embracing this groundbreaking technology, we are making an unwavering commitment to eliminating airline emissions and dramatically reducing operating costs. With ZeroAvia’s extensive flight testing and in-house IP around core technologies, we have the perfect alliance to achieve our vision.”
