Amphibious aircraft developer Jekta Switzerland and Hong Kong's Seaplane Asia have signed an agreement to add 14 PHA-ZE 100 aircraft to the Southeast Asian operator's fleet. With electric and hydrogen propulsion systems, the deal supports Seaplane Asia's commitment to delivering environmentally friendly operations, business growth, and affordable transport for the region.

Jekta said Seaplane Asia is reviewing several new markets and would likely optimize its airframes for short-distance flights, island hopping, transport from airports to waterfront locations, sightseeing flights, and yacht transfers.
