The title is a little misleading:

This is not a commercial flight, currently the plane in question is licensed by the FAA as "experimental" specifically excluding commercial flights.

Still cool! I think electric might have a great future in short-hop flights.

Licensed by the FAA in Canada?

I believe the FAA and TCCA have a bilateral agreement so it very well could be the FAA.

Good point. I based myself on an NPR story I heard this morning, I suspect they were referring to its Canadian equivalent.
