Aerus, a new regional airline in Mexico, has conditionally agreed to purchase 30 Alice commuter airplanes from Washington state-based electric aircraft developer Eviation. The two companies announced on January 17 that they had signed a letter of intent covering the deal.

According to Eviation, Aerus aims to use the nine-seat, fully electric commuter airplane for “middle-mile” travel over areas of northern Mexico including Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Veracruz—regions that have been historically underserved by aviation.
