Bye Aerospace announced that Quantum Air has signed a purchase deposit agreement for 22 of its all-electric four-seat eFlyer 4s and 2 two-seat eFlyer 2 airplanes. The company also signed a comprehensive agreement that includes two future advanced aircraft under development from Bye Aerospace.

George E. Bye, CEO of Bye Aerospace, welcomed Los Angeles-based Quantum Air to the growing list of Bye Aerospace customers. "One of Quantum Air's goals is to disrupt aviation, providing more accessible, cost-efficient, high speed air transportation solutions - including FAA Part 135 on-demand air taxi travel- to help alleviate the noise and CO2 emissions challenges that accompany traditional internal combustion aircraft," he said.

Quantum's new fleet of eFlyers cements its status as the first and leading air taxi service in Los Angeles. "With the arrival of electric aircraft, we are entering a new Golden Age in aviation," said Tony Thompson, Quantum CEO.

"Since the dawn of flight, point to point air travel has been a luxury available only to a privileged few. Quantum's groundbreaking air taxi service will finally make point to point air travel widely available."

"The future has arrived," added Scott Akina, Quantum's Vice President and Chief Pilot. "By electrifying aviation, Quantum will ignite urban and regional mobility. Electric aircraft are safer, quieter, and more efficient than legacy aircraft, and they are more fun, more comfortable, and do not pollute."

In addition, Bye will join Quantum's board of advisers. According to Thompson: "With George Bye on our board of advisers, Quantum will tightly integrate with Bye Aerospace, producing a superior flight experience for our customers."

Bye Aerospace is developing the FAA FAR 23-certified family of eFlyer general aviation aircraft, starting with the eFlyer 2, for the flight training mission. All of Bye Aerospace's current and future families of aircraft, including the eFlyer 2 and the eFlyer 4, feature exemplary engineering, research, and electric aircraft solutions producing no CO2, and are designed to answer compelling market needs. These include significantly lower operating costs, zero emissions, and decreased noise.

Hong Kong (AFP) Aug 16, 2019
Cathay Pacific announced the shock resignation on Friday of its CEO Rupert Hogg, compounding a torrid week for the Hong Kong carrier after it was excoriated by Beijing because some staff supported pro-democracy protests. The 72-year-old airline has been left reeling after it became ensnared in the hardening of rhetoric from the communist mainland over ten weeks of anti-government protests that have plunged Hong Kong into crisis. Over the last two weeks the airline emerged as a target on the main ... read more
