Behind the scenes at a rising star of the European low carbon aviation industry: a visit to Aura Aero’s factory.
On December 20, 2023, American private charter operator JSX announced that it had placed an order for up to 332 low-emissions hybrid-electric aircraft.
This order, one of the largest to date in the nascent low-emissions aviation sector, was divided between three different startup aircraft makers, one from the US and two from Europe.
One of the three is Aura Aero, a French firm that has become one of the rising stars of the electric aviation world. The 50 aircraft plus 100 options committed by JSX add to the US$4.5 billion in orders that Aura Aero’s 19-seater hybrid-electric aircraft, called ERA, had already racked up from several other operators.
