Based on electrified regional commuter aircraft concepts, short-haul services provide many opportunities, such as higher time efficiency within the overall network and reduced travel emissions in reaching regional airports. This study aimed to understand how the relevant service attributes and individual characteristics affect preferences of 19-passenger commuter aircraft. Two mode choice models were estimated based on empirical survey data collected from representative private and business travelers. The reported high mode share and calculated high willingness-to-pay for saving door-to-door travel times as well as reducing total CO2-eq emissions indicated the prospect of introducing regional air transport service served by 19-passenger hybrid-electric aircraft to the business travel market, especially for longer-distance travel (above 500 km). This implies that not only travel efficiency and sustainability need to be ensured from the standpoint of aircraft design but also the necessity of new business models to promote the efficiency of intermodal travel, including first and last miles and transfer procedures. Policy implications regarding other stakeholders are provided for improving the adoption of hybridelectric aircraft and other low-emission transport modes.
