Payerne, Switzerland/ 22 March 2023 – Jekta, the Switzerland-based manufacturer of the electrically powered Passenger Hydro Aircraft Zero Emission 100 (PHA-ZE 100) flying boat and Gayo Aviation today announce the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) for the acquisition by Gayo for ten electrically powered amphibious aircraft. With main offices in Sweden and Dubai, Gayo Aviation is a global provider of private and specialist aviation services and will optimize the aircraft to support existing and new market opportunities.

The airframe will be delivered in a baseline configuration for 19 passengers, with the deal including ground support equipment for charging and replacing the PHA-ZE 100’s batteries; tools and component support for the first year of operation; training for two pilots and two technicians; and a three-year airframe warranty. Gayo Aviation plans to make the aircraft available for environmental and experiential tourism and charter operators wishing to bolster their sustainable transport options. Gayo will also offer the aircraft on lease for scheduled affordable regional services in underserved communities.

“We are delighted to be the first customer to sign an LOI with Jekta for this impressive, versatile and comfortable airframe. We want to be among the first to provide our customers with a truly sustainable option to transport their passengers. With the potential to reduce per-passenger-per-hour costs by more than 70% compared to current seaplanes we can satisfy that need,” says Gisle Dueland, CEO of Gayo Aviation. “The trend for the top end of the tourism community is towards sustainable and experiential travel, so we wanted to be ahead of the curve and first in line to serve this evolving sector. This opens up more opportunities to supply sustainable tourism options and Gayo is committed to supporting this expansion. We anticipate that interest in travel on these airframes will be high,” Dueland adds.

Dueland is a strong proponent of sustainable aviation, and the deal demonstrates industry faith in the PHA-ZE 100 as Jekta CEO George Alafinov continues negotiations with a second potential customer located in the Gulf. “With a powerful presence in the charter, travel and tourism sectors gained over a decade in the industry, Gayo Aviation recognises the PHA-ZE 100’s potential to deliver against its ambition to support sustainable operations. Sustainability does not have to mean a compromise in comfort or capability and the PHA-ZE 100 has been designed to meet these needs. It also satisfies the increasing demand and opportunity to use water as infrastructure, the expansion of seaplane routes, and provides a sustainable, optimised solution to replace aging seaplanes,” says Alafinov.

The PHA-ZE 100 flying boat will be certified to EASA CS-23 and US FAA FAR-23 standards for fixed-wing passenger aircraft. It is optimized to serve coastal and island communities, regional routes currently limited by operational costs, and to support new low-cost, sustainable services between cities without the need for the installation of expensive land infrastructure. It also boasts a configuration to suit the particular needs of experiential vacations being large enough to carry kayaks, scuba equipment, and other gear required to support adventure sports. Flexible configurations, including 19-seat, mixed economy/freight, VIP, and ambulance options, make the most of the PHA-ZE 100’s spacious, stand-up cabin. Low maintenance and fuel costs, much-reduced noise, no pollution impact, and minimal aviation infrastructure requirements combine to make the PHA-ZE 100 an optimal platform for sustainable and new operations.

We are pleased to confirm the first LOI for our Jekta PHA-ZE 100 aircraft. Working with Gayo will be an exciting journey as we support existing needs and develop new market. Thank you

Jekta Switzerland S.A. proud to announce started preparation for the FOCA/EASA certification as a Design and Production Organization (DOA and POA). This work will be carried out in close cooperation with the Swiss company Twenty H. The companies signed a bilateral cooperation agreement last week.

Both companies are based in the Swiss Aeropole aviation cluster at Payerne airport (Canton of Vaud).

Twenty H was founded in 2020 by Laurent Aebi – an experienced and passionate aviator, who holds a PhD in Non-destructive Testing from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, and who led a high-tech company for several years. Twenty H specializes in providing services to aviation enterprises and aviation companies in the organization of work in full compliance with the requirements of regulators such as EASA. With more then 25 years of collective experience, Twenty H is perfectly placed to provide qualified consulting assistance and be directly involved in the preparation and implementation of management systems, certification, maintaining airworthiness, participate in independent investigations of accidents and incidents in aviation (https:// twenty-h.ch).

Jekta Switzerland S.A. develops the PHA-ZE 100 19-seat commercial amphibious aircraft.

The alliance of the two companies will make it possible to use the synergy of cooperation for the effective development of the project, the aviation cluster and civil aviation in Switzerland and Europe.

Jekta Switzerland S.A. took part in the Hydrogen Aviation Summit 2022 by ZeroAvia, which took place on November 30 - December 1 (https://www.zeroavia.com/annual-summit-2022).

The summit was held virtually for the third time, bringing together over two days a group of 30 speakers representing various government agencies and businesses in North America, the UK and the European Union.

In particular, the summit was attended by the first heads of the Ministry of Transport and the UK Civil Aviation Administration, heads of departments of the FAA (USA), DFT, the UK Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the Washington State Department of Commerce (USA), Eu Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking, representatives research institutions such as Aerospace Technology Institute, airline executives such as United Airlines, American Airlines, British Airways, Air France Industries KLM E&M, MHI RJ, OEMs Powercell Sweden AB, Electric Vehicle Outlook, CTO, ZEV STATION, airports USA, Canada, UK, Netherlands such as Rotterdam, Edmonton, Aberdeen.

Such a representative composition of participants reflects the unprecedented activity in the field of the implementation of aviation decarbonization plans and concrete actions of governments and businesses in this direction.

Each country has its own conditions for the development of "green aviation". In particular, the recent U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 provides $369 billion in funding for climate-friendly and clean energy development that will help reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 37-41% by 2030, compared to levels 2003. Tax incentives and subsidies for the use of low-carbon fuels, in particular hydrogen, create financial incentives for capital inflows.
About 4 billion euros will be directed to the development of "green technologies" within the framework of the Clean Sky program in the European Union, 1.7 billion of which will be directed from state budgets. The UK Government is investing £685m in the ATI program over three years and £165m to support sustainable aviation fuel.

The summit participants discussed the specific needs of civil aviation in hydrogen, the most efficient ways of its production and delivery to the aircraft, the problems of operation and maintenance of hydrogen-electric power plants, the economics of operating commercial aircraft with hydrogen engines.

The summit was hosted by ZeroAvia, which is currently developing the ZA600 hydrogen-electric engine. The company intends to certify it by 2025. At present, the prototype aircraft Dornier 228 with a power plant based on two such engines has successfully completed ground tests and is preparing for flight research.

Jekta Aviation is developing PHA-ZE 100: a regional amphibious 19 passenger aircraft powered by electric propulsion. PHA-ZE 100 is designed to meet the growing demand in hydro aviation and replace the existing outdated models available on the market.
Jekta follows with great interest the development of hydrogen technology in aviation, and is considering the possibility of cooperation with ZeroAvia regarding the use of hydrogen energy fuel cells in PHA-ZE 100 and beyond.

Figures and facts

Currently, the attention of marketers is focused on forecasts for various segments of the electric aircraft market. For example, the authors of a study by the Irish company Research and Markets estimate the size of the General Global Electric Aircraft Market in 2021 at $7.9 billion with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. According to this forecast, the General Market for Global Electric Aviation will grow to $27.7 billion in 2030. This forecast covers all market segments, including manned and unmanned aircraft, the industry of development and production of energy sources: batteries and fuel cells, electric motors, charging and control systems.
Looking at individual market segments, we will find both more conservative estimates of growth rates up to 8.2%, and super-optimistic ones - up to 168% per year. For example, according to the forecast of the same Irish company Research and Markets, the market capacity of Manned Electric Aircraft Global Market will reach 6.4-6.6 billion US dollars by 2026 with a growth rate of 13.6% per year.

Figures and facts

Usually any new initiative is accompanied by criticism from skeptics.
Some of them say that replacing fossil-fueled in engines of commuter aircraft with electric ones will be almost invisible to the planet's ecology.
They are based on statistics showing that suburban routes account for only 0.3% of all civil aviation flights, expressed in passenger-kilometres.
But the relative share of GHG emissions from commuter aircraft is five times greater, accounting for 0.16%-0.17% of the total contribution of civil aviation. This is because short flights allow for more departures per day and emit more CO2 per passenger-kilometre.
The ICCT estimates that by 2030, the operation of electric aircraft can reduce carbon intensity by 49-82% compared to alternative aircraft powered by fossil fuels. By 2050, this figure will increase to 57-88%.

21/11/2022

Figures and facts

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, 2021), the share of greenhouse gas emissions in Norway and Sweden is 35-36 times lower compared to the USA: 11-12 g CO2 e kWh compared to 411 g CO2 e kWh / h.
If we compare the total emissions g CO2 e / kWh from the production and use of fossil fuels and electricity, then in 2030 they will be more than twice as high compared to electricity consumed from batteries, no more than 75 g CO2 e / kW *h, and by 2050 these total emissions will be reduced to less than 30 g CO2 e/kWh.
