Connect Airlines
Travelling smarter
The first zero-emission airline in North America.
They use existing Q400 turboprop aircraft (which immediately reduce CO2 emissions by more than 35%) with historically low lease rates, resulting in superior yields well above industry averages. There was no difference in journey times between their Q400 aircraft and existing regional jets on the routes tested.
In addition to this, there is also an improvement in the regional passenger experience through premium offerings. This is the first airline in the world to offer 26 premium seats out of 74 in a turboprop aircraft.
Within 2-3 years, Connect Airlines will achieve zero emissions by converting their existing aircraft to hydrogen-powered aircraft. This is made possible through their strategic partnership with Universal Hydrogen | Fueling Carbon-Free Flight.
