Leasing group LCI is planning to add up to 125 of Beta Technologies’ Alia 250 eVTOL aircraft to its portfolio. In a deposit-backed agreement signed with the manufacturer on April 27, the Ireland-based company committed to taking an initial batch of the five-passenger aircraft, with options for 75 more.

LCI says the Alias will complement its current fleet of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, almost doubling its aviation assets to 270 units. The company, which is part of the Libra Group, with aircraft and operations in some 50 countries, intends to provide commercial, financial, and supply-chain expertise. Since its formation in 2004, it has conducted aviation transactions valued at over $8 billion.
