Air Canada is buying some fancy new planes that look like they're from the future AirCanada
Air Canada announced on Thursday that it had signed a purchase agreement with Heart Aerospace to buy 30 "ES-30 electric-hybrid aircraft" at an undisclosed cost.
The futuristic flying machines are expected to enter service in 2028, at which point they're expected to be able to carry 30 people at a time for some 200 km/h, using nothing for fuel but batteries. "Air Canada has taken a leadership position in the industry to address climate change. The introduction into our fleet of the ES-30 electric regional aircraft from Heart Aerospace will be a step forward to our goal of net zero emissions by 2050," said Air Canada CEO Michael Rosseau in a release issued Thursday.
