Embraer, Eve and Groupe ADP sign MOU

Embraer, Eve Air Mobility, and Groupe ADP (Aéroport de Paris) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work together on the sustainable development of future low-carbon aviation in and around the Airport of Paris-Le-Bourget. As part of this plan, Embraer Services & Support intends to design and then transfer its current facilities at Le Bourget to a new maintenance building. The new aircraft maintenance facility is expected to more than double the unit’s capacity. Eve intends to work with Groupe ADP to prepare the necessary environment for eVTOL operations, including service and support activities such as training, maintenance, ground handling services, and facilitate potential demonstration flights for public-private initiatives. Groupe ADP will provide its expertise to support future operations of the Energia aircraft family at Paris-Le Bourget, with the study of a hydrogen infrastructure. “We are proud that Embraer, the world's leading manufacturer of innovative aircraft, and Eve, are strengthening their presence and activities at Paris-Le Bourget airport,” stated Edward Arkwright, deputy CEO of Groupe ADP. “We know they will be excellent partners in advancing the transition to low-carbon aviation, especially for small aircraft. Paris-Le Bourget is a pioneering airport. Thanks to the mobilization of all its teams, it will be able to promote Embraer's new sustainable technologies: hybrid, electric and hydrogen engines”. “We are very happy to deepen our partnership with the Groupe ADP"" said Carlos Naufel, President and CEO, Embraer Services & Support. ""Our new facilities in Le Bourget will reinforce our commitment to excellence in services, growth, sustainability, and innovation. Embraer has been in France for more than 40 years, and we hope to advance even more our long-term relationship with the country”. Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve Air Mobility, added: “Eve and Groupe ADP have a shared vision of making aviation more sustainable, so this collaboration is an excellent opportunity to support this transition. Eve takes a comprehensive approach to urban air mobility and understands that sustainability must be addressed on all fronts, including service and support facilities and vertiports. We look forward to working with Embraer and Groupe ADP to intensify our efforts and make eVTOL flights a reality globally.”
