Mehair

Jekta confirms order for 50 PHA-ZE 100 aircraft. Indian seaplane operator Maritime Energy Heli Air Services Pvt. Ltd. (MEHAIR) has inked a deal with deposits agreed for ten firm orders and options for 40 more. With the agreement confirmed, MEHAIR will be the first customer to receive the aircraft in Asia, with initial deliveries starting in 2029. 

“Blessed with a 7,400 km long coastline and a rich diversity of rivers, lakes, backwaters and dams, India is readying for the amphibious aircraft revolution. We are one of the fastest-growing aviation sectors and the world’s largest untapped seaplane geography. The PHA-ZE 100 checks all the boxes for meeting this amphibious potential, and we are confident that the affordable airframe will transform the way India travels.”
