Delta Air Lines announced a new partnership with Maeve Aerospace meant to accelerate certification and deployment of the startup’s next-generation hybrid-electric regional aircraft – a move that could reduce the company’s fuel consumption on those routes by up to 40% compared to ICE-only assets.

Maeve introduced its M80 hybrid-[electric](https://electrek.co/2025/06/03/beta-technologies-e...), 80-seater aircraft in November of 2023 as a sustainable, cost-effective aircraft designed to satisfy the operational needs of the majority of regional operators and airports.*

As designed, the M80 promises an operating range of more than 900 miles (~1,500 km) with 40% higher fuel efficiency than conventional aircraft. [Similar in concept to the way Toyota’s Prius uses its electric motors to accelerate and cruises on a small ICE engine](https://electrek.co/2025/10/04/you-can-get-antique...), the Maeve’s hybrid engine architecture provides additional electric power assistance at low altitude, high-drag flight.
