United Airlines is bringing eco-friendly travel to the world of aviation

United Airlines says it plans to buy 100 E-S-19 electric planes from Swedish start-up Heart Aerospace.

The U.S. carrier has been keen to get into the future of electric, gearing up to obtain battery-powered aircraft for regional routes.

It is the latest in a series of such “innovation-related” announcements by United as major airlines come under pressure to cut emissions.

United’s Commitment to Sustainable Aviation

Heart Aerospace has partnered with United Airlines, Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Mesa Airlines to fund and develop the ES-19, an innovative product that will eliminate operational emissions and decrease the aviation industry’s carbon footprint.

Both United and Mesa have conditionally agreed to order 100 of the jets, given it meets each company’s safety, business and operating standards. The investment comes from United’s dedicated sustainability fund, called United Airlines Ventures (UAV), which is focused on innovative technologies that reduce carbon emissions while simultaneously improving the customer experience and revolutionizing how the industry operates.

United Airlines last month revealed bold plans to also buy the new supersonic jet, bringing ultra-fast travel into the market

Wall Street plummets as tech stocks and Bitcoin fall, raising concerns about job market and economic stability.

Wall Street took a sharp hit Thursday as technology stocks and Bitcoin plunged, reigniting worries over the job market and global economic stability. Kyle Rodda from Capital.com breaks down how Alphabet and Qualcomm’s earnings may signal broader tech weakness.

Bitcoin’s recent drop also rattled crypto markets, with Coinbase shares falling sharply. Rodda explains how much of the decline is driven by market fundamentals versus shifting investor sentiment, and how rising AI expenditures are affecting investor confidence in tech.

The surge in unemployment claims, coupled with falling bond yields, is prompting concern over overall market stability.
