Helipass, the helicopter flight reservation company, and Eve Urban Air Mobility, the arm of Embraer responsible for developing eVTOL, announced a new partnership.
The agreement, which serves France and other European countries, aims to accelerate the start of eVTOLs operations by making available 50,000 flight hours per year on Eve's eVTOL, which can be expanded to 100,000 hours for the network of the Helipass.
Eve will provide training, on-site support and technical publications, with eVTOL scheduled to begin commercial operations in 2026. In addition to the on-demand service, flights will include sightseeing tours and airport transfers.
“Both parties will consider growing the service beyond this agreement to include additional use cases as well as the services needed to support the implementation of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) products in Helipass's key markets,” says the agreement statement.
“We are delighted to bring Helipass to our family of partners, increasing the global reach of our solutions for the Urban Air Mobility market. Europe is not only ripe for new mobility solutions, but also very focused on ensuring a more sustainable future, a mission aligned with Eve's purpose,” said Eve President and CEO Andre Stein.
