JSX CEO Talks up ATRs, Puts Deposit on New Hybrid Turboprop
The deal converts a 2023 letter of intent into a deposit-backed order as Heart targets first flight in 2028 and service in 2031.
- On Wednesday, Heart Aerospace unveiled the ES-36 hybrid-electric airliner alongside an announcement that US premium regional carrier JSX ordered up to 100 units of the new aircraft.
- Seeking to serve operationally constrained airports like Santa Monica, where noise limitations restrict jet operations, JSX has actively pursued turboprops. The carrier recently began testing ATR turboprops as a potential solution for regional routes.
- Designed for regional routes, the ES-36 features a 36-passenger capacity and a 745-mile range in hybrid mode. It promises operating expenses roughly 40% lower than fossil-fuel-powered planes with twin 1.65-megawatt hybrid powertrains.
- JSX CEO Alex Wilcox converted a previous letter of intent into a firm order for 50 aircraft, plus another 50 options. The deal secures early delivery positions for the airline's future regional expansion.
- The company targets the second half of 2028 for the ES-36's first flight and 2031 for entry into service. Wilcox remains optimistic about the project, arguing the industry needs new 30- to 50-seat aircraft for future regional travel.
