JAL and REGENT sign agreement to study Seaglider operations in Japan

October 8, 2023 /

Tokyo, Japan – Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 9201) and REGENT Craft Inc. (Headquarters: United States, CEO: Billy Thalheimer, hereinafter referred to as “REGENT”) have announced the signing of a comprehensive partnership agreement to establish a system for seaglider operations in Japan. The agreement follows a strategic investment in REGENT made earlier this year by JAL Innovation Fund, the CVC of JAL. Through this agreement, the two companies aim to implement next-generation mobility where people can move safely and comfortably with zero emissions.

The all-electric seagliders being developed by REGENT are wing-in-ground effect craft that fly several meters above the water on a cushion of air trapped between the wings and the water’s surface. Seagliders are attracting attention as a new form of sustainable mobility, further expanding the possibilities of new transportation methods that do not place a burden on the environment, as well as the development of new markets.

The new agreement signifies a commitment to deepen business development between the two companies. With the goal of establishing a system of seaglider operations in Japan, JAL aims to utilize its accumulated knowledge of safe operation while REGENT brings its technological expertise to the table. Together, the companies will collaborate to drive awareness and understanding of seagliders in the region, identify jurisdictions for seaglider operations by JAL and JAL Group operators, develop infrastructure for seaglider operations – including a planned demonstration flight in 2025 – and obtain certification for the safe operation of electric seagliders. In addition, JALUX Co., Ltd. (location: Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Satoru Takahama) will act as a sales agent for the maritime craft.

Boeing’s October 737 Deliveries Up On Strong Demand

November 13, 2018 /

(Reuters) – Boeing Co (BA.N) delivered 43 of its best-selling 737 single-aisle aircraft in October, up from 37 a year ago, helped by strong demand in a booming jet aircraft market and putting it on track for another year of record deliveries.

The planemaker’s total deliveries for the first 10 months of 2018 now stand at 625, up from 610 in the same period a year ago.

Boeing delivered a total of 57 aircraft in October, up from a 56 a year ago, despite a warning from Chief Financial Officer Greg Smith last week that deliveries for the month would be lower than normal while promising numbers would rebound in the final two months of the year.

Boeing is working through a recovery plan dealing with a combination of delays on fuselages, engines and other components, which created a production bottleneck at its Seattle-area plant this summer for the best-selling 737.

The company aims to deliver 810-815 planes in 2018, keeping it ahead of European rival Airbus SE (AIR.PA), which delivered 503 aircraft through September this year.

Shares of the planemaker were marginally up in premarket trading.
