Mesa Air Group

Regent is a maritime mobility company focused on developing electric flying machines for coastal transportation. The company specializes in designing and manufacturing seagliders, which are wing-in-ground-effect crafts that operate a few meters above the water's surface. These innovative vehicles combine the high speed of an airplane with the low operating costs of a boat, enabling them to travel at speeds of up to 180 mph (290 km/h) over suitable ranges for regional trips. Regent's seagliders aim to replace traditional ferries and short-haul aircraft on coastal routes, providing fast, safe, and cost-effective transportation solutions that connect coastal cities and islands. By revolutionizing regional transportation, Regent seeks to enhance connectivity among coastal communities while promoting sustainable travel options.

Heart Aerospace AB, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, with an additional location in Palo Alto, California, focuses on developing an electric regional airliner aimed at enhancing sustainable transportation for regional travel. The company's flagship aircraft, the ES-19, is designed to accommodate nineteen passengers and boasts an operational range of 400 kilometers. Heart Aerospace seeks to significantly reduce fuel and maintenance costs compared to traditional aircraft while achieving zero operational emissions. The innovative design allows for a low infrastructural footprint, facilitating the use of small airports located near city centers. Heart's objective is to secure certification for the ES-19 for commercial operations by 2026, aligning with its mission to provide affordable and environmentally friendly travel options across the globe.
