Japan’s largest public helicopter air charter service AirX has signed a deal with Eve Air Mobility for up to ten firm and 40 optional electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) craft, ahead of the type’s projected entry into service in 2026, taking Eve’s orderbook to nearly 3,000 units.
“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 of Eve. He added that Japan has been “progressive” in its approach and interest in eVTOL operations.
Kiwamu Tezuka, CEO of AirX, added: “By integrating our knowledge, experience, and existing business platform with EVE’s comprehensive solutions, we hope to overcome transportation limitations by advancing eVTOL operations in Japan”.
AirX previously announced the launch of the Greater Tokyo area’s first evTOL test field, the UAM Centre, building on what Eve describes as “AirX’s rich history of offering unique aerial experiences through AIROS Skyview since 2015”.
