Jekta has released new research identifying where its all-electric, amphibious PHA-ZE 100 can deliver the strongest economic advantages for regional air mobility. The study introduces The Jekta Factor, a coefficient comparing electricity costs with Jet A fuel consumption to determine optimal markets for electric aircraft. The results highlight that regions with low electricity prices—such as Africa, the Middle East, India and much of Asia—offer significant cost savings, making the PHA-ZE 100 far more economical than conventional turboprops. These areas often combine abundant water access, limited aviation infrastructure and high fuel costs, creating ideal conditions for flying boat operations. Building on existing commitments like MEHAIR’s 50-aircraft order, Jekta envisions the PHA-ZE 100 enabling affordable, zero-emission mobility for communities currently underserved by traditional air transport systems.
