Today I learned that we're likely 2-3 years away from short-route electric airplanes that literally cut the cost of flying by 10x. Ie a route that costs $200 now could cost roughly $20. Wild times. https://www.harbourair.com/harbour-air-and-magnix-partner-to-build-worlds-first-all-electric-airline/ …
Happy to take 5:1 odds of not seeing a commercial electric flight within the decade on a dollar value of your choice. cc @s_sreekanth2000

worth taking a look at what actually drives capex of a modern airline— lots of armchair quarterbacking around the industry (esp. around “self flying” and electric flight) these days

Modern airlines are just large scale negotiators of services. Everything from engine maintenance to aircraft leasing is being offered a service instead of purchases. All innovation is going be driven by Boeing/Airbus and GE/P&W
