Cape Air, the Massachusetts-based airline that has a strong presence in the Caribbean, is going electric. 

The company has signed a letter of intent to purchase 75 all-electric Alice commuter aircraft, meaning the longtime regional carrier will become the Caribbean’s first electric airline.

“Truly sustainable aviation not only reduces the impact of air travel on the environment but also makes business sense,” said Jessica Pruss, Vice President of Sales at Eviation. “We are proud to support Cape Air, a recognized leader in regional air travel, to chart a new path in delivering innovative solutions that benefit airline operators, passengers, communities and society.”

With the move, the company says it wants to “set up an unparalleled regional electric fleet, taking a pioneering step into the sustainable era of aviation.”
