Pan Européenne Air Service (PEA, Chambéry Aix-lès-Bains) has firmed an order for a single Aura Aero (Toulouse Francazal) ERA electric regional aircraft with options for a further three.
"Aura Aero's ambition and values are perfectly aligned with our vision of tomorrow’s aviation," Antoine Foessel and Clément Jacquot, co-CEOs and owners of Pan Européenne Air Service said in a joint statement.
"The technological and industrial choices made in the design and development of ERA since the company’s creation have consistently proven extremely relevant, and it was only natural for us to select this aircraft in order to offer the first fully decarbonised air transport solution in history," they added.
The French business charter specialist previously signed a letter of intent (LOI) for four units.
The ERA is a 19-seat hybrid-electric aircraft designed for regional markets. The OEM, which is building a family of Integral training and acrobatics aircraft, plans to begin flight testing for the new model in 2027, to achieve the entry into service by 2030.
Pan Européenne Air Service currently operates one E135, one E145, one Phenom 100E, one Phenom 300, and one Phenom 300E.
