Eve Air Mobility and Signature Aviation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to research ecosystem requirements as well as the ground services necessary for safe, efficient and scalable Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ground operations.
“Following the rollout of our first full-scale eVTOL prototype, we continue to build on that momentum and are looking forward to teaming with Signature Aviation to support eVTOL operations,” said Luiz Mauad, vice president, Services, Operations Solutions, Strategic Design & Ecosystem at Eve Air Mobility. “Eve and Signature will leverage the companies’ combined global presence and experience in servicing aircraft and creating seamless passenger experiences. Signature Aviation’s insight into ground services needs, local knowledge, private aviation terminal operations and passenger services will inform the procedures and ecosystem needed to accelerate preparations for eVTOLs to launch and scale.”
Signature Aviation manages a global network of private aviation terminals. As part of the MoU, the two companies will also explore potential future commercial partnerships.
“The announcement of our partnership with Eve adds to a transformative year for Signature, while also reinforcing our commitment to shaping the future of aviation through our sustainability initiatives,” said Derek DeCross, chief commercial officer, Signature Aviation. “We’re always looking ahead to create and deliver exceptional experiences for our guests, and working towards the most comprehensive ground infrastructure for eVTOL aircraft is a major part of that mission. This collaboration will bring together our experience, resources, and creativity to find the most effective path towards innovative, safe, and scalable ground operations for advanced air mobility.”
In addition to the MoU, the two companies have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) for Vector, Eve’s urban air traffic management software. Vector is an agnostic software solution designed to safely address the unique air traffic and network management challenges of current and future AAM operations.
Eve recently announced the launch of its fully integrated aftermarket services portfolio, Eve TechCare.
