| (20 Sep 2021) Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions and Helipass are working together to accelerate and deploy electrical vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft across France and Europe. The partnership aims to fly Eve’s electric aircraft for 50,000 flight hours per year, possibly increasing to 100,000 annual flight hours across Helipass’ network. Following the commercial introduction of the new eVTOL aircraft, which is planned for 2026, both companies will endeavor to launch eVTOL flights across Helipass’ markets. Flights will include sightseeing, city and airport transfers, as well as on-demand services.  “This is a great step for Electric Air Mobility. We are very proud to open the way and democratize the air with Eve. This new aircraft will transform our sightseeing activity with less noise and zero-emission on all our destinations for sustainable flights. The airport transfer activity will also become sustainable and open to everybody as a real mobility solution. Helipass, the air mobility platform with 600 destinations and 120 helicopter operators is opening the way for a better future,” said Frederic Aguettant, CEO of Helipass. To support the expansion of this partnership, Eve will work with Helipass to develop training, on-site support, and technical publications to facilitate the launch of eVTOL commercial operations. “We are very happy about bringing Helipass to our family of partners, increasing the global reach of our solutions to the UAM market. Europe is not only ripe for new mobility solutions, but also very focused on ensuring a more sustainable future, which is very much in line with Eve’s vision,” said Andre Stein, President & CEO of Eve.
