The air taxi and drone network continues to grow around the world, with Canada throwing their hat into the ring, per a recent announcement from one of Canada’s largest air transportation companies, to purchase electric airplanes that have limited seating and can only travel short distances.
This move by Air Canada, they say, is to reduce emissions by the year 2050. According to the press release, these planes will be ready for use by 2028.
However, the distance they can fly is very low. The planes can only hold 30 passengers at once, and can only fly roughly 125 miles when using “zero emissions.” When reduced to 25 passengers “supplemented by [additional] generators,” the planes can fly nearly 500 miles.
As a reference point: the distance from Chicago, Illinois, to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on land, is approximately 450 miles.
Air Canada explains more details about the project in their press release:
Air Canada today announced a purchase agreement for 30 ES-30 electric-hybrid aircraft under development by Heart Aerospace of Sweden. The revolutionary regional aircraft, expected to enter service in 2028, will generate zero emissions flying on battery power and yield significant operational savings and benefits. Under the agreement, Air Canada has also acquired a US$5 million equity stake in Heart Aerospace.
Air Canada has taken a leadership position in the industry to address climate change. The introduction into our fleet of the ES-30 electric regional aircraft from Heart Aerospace will be a step forward to our goal of net zero emissions by 2050.
Already, Air Canada is supporting the development of new technologies, such as sustainable aviation fuels and carbon capture, to address climate change. We are now reinforcing our commitment by investing in revolutionary electric aircraft technology, both as a customer for the ES-30 and as an equity partner in Heart Aerospace.
Michael Rousseau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada, said
The ES-30 will allow Air Canada to serve regional and commuter routes more sustainably, providing low-emission connectivity to local communities over the medium-to-long term. It will be capable of carrying 30 passengers seated three across (in a 2X1 configuration), with a galley and lavatory. Air Canada has placed a purchase order for 30 ES-30.
Air Canada is a strategically important partner for Heart Aerospace. The company has one of the world’s largest networks operated by regional turboprops, and it is also a progressive, future leaning company especially in the green transmission. With the ES-30 we can start cutting emissions from air travel well before the end of this decade.
Anders Forslund, founder and CEO of Heart Aerospace, said
The aircraft will be powered by lithium-ion batteries, and will be quieter, have better operational parameters, be more reliable, and have a smaller environmental footprint than conventional turbo-prop aircraft. It will also be equipped with reserve-hybrid generators that can use sustainable aviation fuel. Fully loaded, the ES-30 is projected to have an all-electric, zero-emission range of 200 km. This can be extended to 400 km with power supplemented by the generators, and up to 800 km if the load is restricted to 25 passengers. Charging time for the aircraft is expected to be 30-to-50 minutes.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
These short distance capabilities of these planes are not on accident: as a matter of fact, this falls in line with what the World Economic Forum is calling for by 2030:
First communication became digitized and free to everyone. Then, when clean energy became free, things started to move quickly. Transportation dropped dramatically in price. It made no sense for us to own cars anymore, because we could call a driverless vehicle or a flying car for longer journeys within minutes. We started transporting ourselves in a much more organized and coordinated way when public transport became easier, quicker and more convenient than the car. Now I can hardly believe that we accepted congestion and traffic jams, not to mention the air pollution from combustion engines. What were we thinking?

When I first discussed this in early 2021, I was quick to disavow the notion of “flying cars.” However, The WinePress has reported on different instances where countries are working on “air taxies” and drone transport networks. Therefore, this, in my opinion, qualifies as these flying cars, including Canada’s recent purchase.

Moreover, one must understand that just as with the coming abolishment of private ownership of vehicles, so too will be the end of public air transportation (and perhaps even of goods and supplies). The absolute zero agenda makes this very clear:
[By 2030] All airports except Heathrow, Glasgow and Belfast close with transfers by rail. All remaining airports close [thereafter].
It has ZERO to do with climate emissions and going green: the climate prophets are just ‘useful idiots” for the handlers in ‘the club’ to fulfil their agenda to control and subjugate everyone’s [no longer] free movement. Hence, why these electric planes can barely hold anyone and can only fly very small distances – to other connected smart cities I presume.

[8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Welcome back Jacob. I’m sure these flying coffins will be a lot safer than the electric cars.
You mean those flying fire bombs? Oh yeah, they’re safe, safe indeed. Let’s see if one can fly from New York City to London.
