MaveJet at SkyWest

Care to share?

Yesterday’s Maevejet news at SkyWest caused a flutter among industry watchers.  Very few expected this move.

The MaeveJet promises 20% better trip costs on a 500-mile mission compared to “Existing Regional Jets in service.”   By our reckoning, the optimal benchmark would be the CRJ-900 – not least because that’s what the image looks like on their page.  However, MaeveJet promises ~33% better fuel burn, a significant improvement that is critical for regional operations.  Regional jets, flying shorter hops, spend less time at fuel-efficient cruise than other aircraft.
