Bravo Air and SkyDrive ink sale and partnership agreement

US private charter company Bravo Air has signed a letter of intent for the purchase of up to five eVTOL SD-05 aircraft from Japanese eVTOL aircraft manufacturer SkyDrive. The agreement also includes a partnership for the development of eVTOL operations at the Augusta Regional Airport in the state of Georgia. The companies will conduct joint studies in developing advanced air mobility (AAM) in the region including the adaption of air taxi services from SkyDrive's business model. “As we embark on this new partnership with Bravo Air, we are thrilled to witness not only the growth of SkyDrive but also the broader eVTOL industry in the US market,"" said SkyDrive founder and CEO Tomohiro Fukuzawa. ""This collaboration with Bravo Air marks a significant step forward in our shared objective of advancing AAM development, particularly in the Southeast region in the US."" ""We would like to congratulate SkyDrive and Bravo Air on their new partnership,"" said Augusta Regional Airport executive director Herbert Judon. ""The Augusta Regional Airport staff have worked diligently to prepare the infrastructure necessary to support the needs of this new industry."" SkyDrive had established a US base in South Carolina in partnership with Austin Aviation last year.
