A new chapter in amphibious aviation

The future of amphibious aviation is being shaped in unexpected places, and few stories illustrate this better than Jekta’s. What began as a conversation in Delhi about unlocking India’s waterways instead of building traditional airports has evolved into one of the most ambitious clean-sheet aircraft programmes in modern regional aviation.

At the centre of this transformation is GEORGE ALAFINOV, CEO and Co-founder of Jekta.
