Helijet has placed firm orders for four Beta Technologies’ Alia single-pilot, five-passenger eVTOLs and it plans to operate under instrument flight rules. According to Beta, the Alia will be certified by 2026, with Helijet set to begin commercial operations in southwestern British Columbia and the wider Pacific Northwest region shortly thereafter.

The contract also include options for four more aircraft, the companies said yesterday during an event at Helijet’s Victoria Harbour Heliport. They were joined by David Eby, a representative from the Canadian Advanced Air Mobility (CAAM) consortium and a British Columbia Premier.
