ZeroAvia’s ZA600 hydrogen-electric engines selected for Ecojet fleet

ZeroAvia, a trailblazer in zero-emission flight, in a significant leap toward sustainable aviation,  has joined forces with Ecojet, an ambitious new airline set to redefine green air travel. The groundbreaking agreement involves the procurement of up to 70 hydrogen-electric, zero-emission engines from ZeroAvia. ZeroAvia, an advocate for hydrogen-electric aviation, is targeting type certification for the ZA600 engine by 2025. The collaboration involving ZeroAvia, Ecojet, and MONTE, ZeroAvia’s preferred ZA600 lessor partner, is set to focus on the implementation of hydrogen-electric commercial operations, working closely with airports and industry partners.


Ecojet, poised to commence operations in 2024 with conventionally powered aircraft shuttling between Edinburgh and other destinations, envisions a future where it becomes the world’s first electric airline. This transformative journey will see Ecojet retrofitting its aircraft with ZeroAvia’s ZA600 engines once they achieve the necessary certification. In a move signaling its commitment to sustainable aviation, Ecojet has also placed a substantial order for the more potent ZA2000 engine, tailored for regional turboprops seating up to 80 passengers, with a target entry into service in 2027.
