Maya Island Air is the latest airline to sign up for a zero emission aviation partnership with Monte, encompassing all technical and financial aspects of the conversion process.

Monte is supporting the transition of the regional aviation industry to net zero carbon emissions flight. It is to finance the conversion of two fleets to zero emission propulsion, and purchase up to 50 powertrains for a third.

ZeroAvia and Monte have struck a deal for 100 hydrogen-electric powertrains to enable zero-emission aircraft leasing. The companies aim to retrofit the aircraft for regional operators starting 2024.
