Vermont-based electric aircraft developer Beta Technologies flew its Alia prototype into Montréal on Wednesday. According to Beta, this was the first time an all-electric aircraft crossed an international border and the first time one landed in Montréal.
With Beta test pilot Chris Caputo at the helm and accompanied by Beta flight test engineer Emma Davis, the Alia prototype took off from the company’s flight testing center at Plattsburgh International Airport (PBG) in New York at 1:54 p.m. EDT. About 30 minutes and 64 miles (55 nm) later, it touched down at Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), where the company recently opened a research and development facility. According to Beta, the Class B airport is in busy airspace and serves about 53,000 passengers per day.
