JetZero has raised $175M in a Series B round led by B Capital, with Alaska Airlines and United Airlines included in investment packages that provide options for future aircraft orders. The funding bolsters the company’s plan to deliver its all‑wing Z4, a commercial jet that promises up to 50% fuel savings and a superior passenger experience.

Groundbreaking for JetZero’s first manufacturing and final‑assembly campus was held in Greensboro, North Carolina, and the company signed a Letter of Intent with EXIM Bank to explore up to $3B in financing for an advanced aerospace manufacturing hub. A new engineering office will open in Wichita, Kansas, at the National Institute for Aviation Research.

Strategic partnerships are expanding: Japan Airlines has joined the Z4 program, and Gulf Air has signed a LOI for the aircraft, positioning JetZero to serve Europe and Asia from Bahrain. The all‑wing design also enables a path to order up to 200 planes, addressing the growing demand for clean, efficient aviation.

JetZero’s vision centers on low‑drag, lightweight construction that transforms regional and international travel, combining cutting‑edge aerodynamics with elevated passenger comfort.
