- SkyWest planning to purchase 100 eVTOL aircraft
- Bristow Group exploring up to 100 aircraft
- Azorra (lessor) placing orders for up to 200 aircraft
Why this matters:
- Confirms real operator demand, not just speculative hype
- Leasing models emerging → lowers barrier for operators
- Suggests early revenue models will look like:
- Regional airlines
- Air taxi networks
- Infrastructure-as-a-service
