Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Furthest-along fixed-wing electric program with real revenue-adjacent flying and a >$1B public IPO, but commercial type certification and range limits keep it pre-adoption for any dependency.
Next
Re-check at the H1-2026 electric-propulsion cert decision and the late-2026 CX300 type-cert milestone; confirm Air NZ/NZ Post cargo (Wellington-Blenheim) and Bristow move from trials to revenue routes
