Air New Zealand, which recently announced its ambition to bring zero-emissions flights to its home country by 2026, has selected four major partners for the new program, called Mission Next Generation Aircraft. This week, the carrier confirmed that Eviation, Beta Technologies, VoltAero, and Cranfield Aerospace—all companies working on electric, hybrid, or hydrogen-powered aircraft—will support its efforts to demonstrate the viability of reducing carbon emissions.
