Netherlands-based lessor TrueNoord has signed a collaboration with Canadian developer Elysian Aircraft to support the E9X, a 90-seat battery-powered regional airliner, advising on development and providing financing, leasing and residual-value analysis. The agreement, signed at the ERA general assembly, targets operating costs and after-sales support.

Briefing
TrueNoord's engagement links a growing regional lessor—fresh from a direct 20‑aircraft Embraer E195‑E2 order valued at about $1.8 billion—to early-stage zero‑emission assets, indicating potential fleet and funding pathways for the E9X (see recent TrueNoord order).
The collaboration gives commercial validation to Elysian as it seeks faster scale and higher performance for electric regional aircraft, following the company's public push for bolder ambitions in the sector (see Elysian's call to "aim higher").
The work explicitly targets residual value, operating costs and after‑sales support—essential metrics for lessors and airlines assessing the economics and lease structures of a 90‑seat battery regional aircraft.
