Ravn Alaska today announced it intends to operate 50 of Airflow’s planned hybrid-electric short takeoff and landing (eSTOL) aircraft. According to Airflow, this takes its order book to a value of more than $200 million, and it has not confirmed the identity of other launch customers who have signed letters of intent.

The Anchorage-based regional airline will use the aircraft for both freight-carrying and passenger operations. California-based Airflow is aiming to get what it is currently referring to as Model 200 certified and ready to begin commercial operations in 2025.
