Eviation has disclosed that US regional airline Cape Air intends to purchase 75 of its in-development Alice aircraft. Cape Air in 2019 was revealed as the first customer for the Alice, although no details of the quantity to be purchased were disclosed at the time. However, the airline has now signed a "letter of intent for the purchase of 75 all-electric Alice commuter aircraft", Eviation revealed on 15 April. Despite the announcement, no additional details, such as a proposed delivery timeline, were revealed, and neither Eviation nor Cape Air responded to requests for further information. "With this engagement, Cape Air aims to set up an unparalleled regional electric fleet, taking a pioneering step into the sustainable era of aviation," Eviation says. "Cape Air remains committed to sustainability, growth and innovation, and our partnership with Eviation allows for these commitments to become a reality," says the carrier's chief executive, Linda Markham.
