Aerolease plans to add up to 50 all-electric Alice aircraft under a letter of intent signed with Eviation Aircraft on Tuesday. The Miami-based group plans to offer the nine-passenger model under finance and leasing terms to operators.

Eviation launched the Alice program at the 2019 Paris Air Show, but the fixed-wing aircraft has undergone a fundamental redesign since then. In September 2022, the U.S. company made a short first flight at Moses Lake in Washington state but has not flown it since and now says it intends to start certification testing in 2025 as it aims to start deliveries in 2027.
