GlobalX Signs Deal With Eviation for 50 Alice Aircraft

Our Bureau - : Sep 18, 2022 - : 7:43 pm

GlobalX, a Miami-based provider of passenger and cargo charter jets, has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Eviation Aircraft, a manufacturer of all-electric aircraft, for 50 Alice aircraft.

The aircraft will open up new routes for passenger travel in GlobalX’s key markets in Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean, supporting the airline’s plan to adopt carbon-free and sustainable technologies.

Alice is a nine-passenger electric aircraft offering a premium passenger experience. The aircraft, built from a clean-sheet design around all-electric propulsion, produces no carbon emissions, significantly reduces noise and costs a fraction to operate per flight hour compared to light jets or high-end turboprops. Alice is powered by two magni650 electric propulsion units by magniX.

GlobalX began passenger operations in August last year and operates seven A320 family aircraft serving the U.S., Caribbean, and Latin America. It also has 15 A321 freighter aircraft under lease agreements and will commence cargo operations in Q4 2022. Alice will enable GlobalX to introduce new, sustainable flight options for growing markets including Miami, Orlando, and the Bahamas.

GlobalX expects to take delivery of its initial Alice aircraft in 2027 and is evaluating the cargo aircraft variant of Alice for supporting its cargo customer base.

“Charter travel is attractive to both individuals and groups as it offers flexibility, privacy, and convenience. Alice represents a pioneering approach to making this type of aviation sustainable for generations to come,” said Eviation President Gregory Davis.

“Eviation’s Alice aircraft is setting the standard in sustainable aviation, and we plan to offer the aircraft to our cruise line, tour operators, leisure travel providers, and business clients with a need for short-haul charter flights across Florida,” said Ed Wegel, Chair, and CEO of GlobalX.
