According to Australian regional airline Rex, short-haul flying costs might be cut in half over the next few years with the usage of electric and hydrogen aircraft.
The Bloomberg News Agency quoted John Sharp, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company, as saying at a press conference in Sidni, that the company intends to start the experimental operation of the King Air Electric aircraft in early 2024 before the start of the SAB 340 plane test.
Using traditional engines will be allowed to operate on economically pointless lines, he continued, while ticket prices will drop and there will be more flights per line, showing that electricity planes are appropriate.
Rex established a relationship with the Dofive Electric Electric Company in July of last year.
Duvtel stated at the time that she anticipated obtaining her alternative engine aircraft certification in 4 years.
Meanwhile, Rex will keep using conventional engines on lengthy lines.
The cost of flying with electrical aircraft is expected to be cut in half by an Australian company.
