Helijet to Add Beta's eVTOL Aircraft to Pacific Northwest Fleet
The single pilot aircraft will operate under IFR flight rules with a range of up to 250 nautical miles.
Vancouver-based rotorcraft operator Helijet agreed to buy up to eight of the five-passenger Alia eVTOL aircraft, with plans to operate these in southwestern British Columbia and the wider Pacific Northwest region from 2026. The Canadian province's carbon tax has created a strong incentive for aircraft operators to consider switching to electric propulsion.
