SkyDrive Inc has announced the signing of a strategic partnership with JetSetGo Aviation Services Pvt to explore new business structures, initially in the state of Gujarat and potentially in other locations across India. JetSetGo, one of India’s largest private jet operators, has also agreed to pre-order 50 units of SkyDrive’s SKYDRIVE which will be the company’s first commercially certified eVTOL.
“SkyDrive has been exploring the development of the Indian market and potential use cases in India since 2022,” said the company in a press release. “SkyDrive established a strategic partnership with the Government of Gujarat in January 2024 with the aim of combatting the various issues affecting the transportation sector in India, including the large volume of greenhouse gas emissions caused by road traffic and other forms of transport, and also the long-standing issue of extreme urban congestion.
“Under the project, JetSetGo and SkyDrive will assess the potential for commercially viable eVTOL operations centered around the wider Ahmedabad area, as well as possibilities for the further expansion of route networks to encompass other locations within Gujarat and further afield. Together, both parties will explore market opportunities and assess the demand for eVTOL services. The partnership sets the stage for the wider adoption of air taxis in India, transforming urban mobility with eco-friendly, fast, and accessible transportation solutions.
