Business aviation services group Clay Lacy is to install recharging stations for electric aircraft at its network of U.S. fixed-base operations (FBOs) under an agreement with Eviation, which is working to bring its nine-passenger Alice model into commercial service in 2024. Announcing the move on September 14, Clay Lacy, which also operates charter aircraft, did not say whether it intends to add the all-electric, fixed-wing Alice to its fleet.

The partnership makes Clay Lacy one of the first business aviation service providers to declare it will install the equipment required to support the operation of electric aircraft. The U.S. company has FBOs at Van Nuys and John Wayne Orange County Airports in California, with another slated to open next year in Connecticut.
