Overview

• Delta becomes Maeve’s North American airline partner, contributing operational expertise to help bring the MAEVE Jet to commercial viability.
• Maeve targets about 40% lower fuel burn and emissions on conventional jet fuel, with further lifecycle reductions expected when using SAF.
• The five-abreast, single-aisle design seats roughly 75–100 passengers and aims to deliver narrow-body economics on short-haul routes.
• SkyWest holds exclusive launch-customer rights and has taken an equity stake, while no financial commitment from Delta has been disclosed.
• Propulsion is planned around Pratt & Whitney Canada hybrid-electric powerplants, and Maeve’s CTO says first flight tests are planned for 2030 with entry into service targeted for the early-to-mid 2030s.
