Eve Air Mobility has made a significant deal with AirX Inc. amounting to up to 10 firm eVTOL aircraft and up to 40 optional units, pushing the future in the light of intelligent transportation solutions through strategic partnerships.
Eve Air Mobility, recognizing the incredible, urban air mobility choice, has cut a significantly enormous deal with AirX Inc., a primary player based in Japan in the public helicopter air charter services. The deal has its value, amounting to up to 10 firm eVTOL aircraft and up to 40 optional units, being highly substantial, aimed at pushing the future in the light of intelligent transportation solutions through strategic partnerships.
AirX Inc., recognized as a pioneer of advanced air mobility in Japan, is known for offering a total solution of charter services through AIROS Skyview, a service launched with the UAM Center, the first test field for eVTOLs in Greater Tokyo Area. This effort represents AirX’s dedication towards innovation and sustainable urban air mobility that is required to transform air travel in Tokyo.
“We appreciate AirX’s trust and confidence in Eve by not only purchasing our eVTOL aircraft, but services and operations solutions and our Vector – the urban air traffic management software,” said Johann Bordais, CEO, Eve.“Japan has been progressive in their approach and interest in eVTOL operations and we look forward to continuing to expand our relationships and as we support Japan’s urban air mobility objectives going forward,” he further added.
Eve Air Mobility views the Asia-Pacific region as critical and is building relationships to introduce a new mode of transportation aimed at addressing traffic congestion in the future. Together with customers and operators in Australia, India, South Korea, and other locations, Eve collaborates. The company’s target is to develop UAM ecosystems in collaboration with local partners, sharing insights and information as discussions progress.
“We are deeply impressed not only by EVE’s technological capabilities, but also by their commitment to building an ecosystem,” said Kiwamu Tezuka, CEO, AirX Inc. “Our aim is to revolutionize the current industry, making transport services useful and affordable for everyone. By integrating our knowledge, experiences, and existing business platform with EVE’s comprehensive solutions, we hope to overcome transportation limitations by advancing eVTOL operations in Japan,” he further added.
This eVTOL aircraft developed by Eve uses a lift+cruise configuration that combines eight dedicated propellers for vertical flight with fixed wings for cruising. That design ensures optimal performance and safety with features of propulsion redundancy and low sound emissions. The eVTOL of Eve is expected to enter service in 2026, where there has been significant interest shown through nearly 3,000 letters of intent.
Eve is also putting up its first eVTOL production facility in Taubaté, Brazil, where assembly of the first full-scale prototype is underway. Eve’s commitment to innovation goes beyond the design of its eVTOL, with agnostic service and operations solutions, including Vector, a unique Urban Air Traffic Management software designed to optimize and scale UAM operations globally.
