Middle East: FIA2024 CRISALION Mobility “Gains Pre-order of 10 Integrity eVTOLs From Dubai-Based Air Chateau” 

CRISALION Mobil­i­ty announced last week at the Farn­bor­ough Inter­na­tion­al Air­show (FIA), a pre-order of 10 Integri­ty eVTOLs with Dubai-based pri­vate avi­a­tion oper­a­tor Air Chateau, “to sup­port the devel­op­ment of elec­tric air taxi ser­vices in the Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates,” reports a press release.

This dis­clo­sure increas­es CRISALION’s pre-order­book to 125 air­craft. It also rep­re­sents the company’s first Mid­dle East com­mer­cial col­lab­o­ra­tion. The two part­ners will work close­ly on an AAM expan­sion plan for elec­tric air taxi ser­vices in major cities, includ­ing Abu Dhabi and Dubai. 

The agree­ment also serves as a promis­ing foun­da­tion for poten­tial future joint projects between the two in Europe. With the inte­gra­tion of the Integri­ty air­craft into Air Chateau’s ser­vices, the com­pa­nies can offer cus­tomers a safe, sus­tain­able, zero emis­sions region­al air mobil­i­ty alter­na­tive. 

Manuel Here­dia, CRISALION Mobil­i­ty Gen­er­al Man­ag­er, com­ment­ed, “Air Chateau has demon­strat­ed a strong com­mit­ment to advanced air mobil­i­ty and is one of UAE’s lead­ing avi­a­tion com­pa­nies. This col­lab­o­ra­tion opens not only the door to a strate­gic region for us, but also forms part of Air Chateau’s approach to pro­vid­ing sus­tain­able air trav­el ser­vices to its cus­tomers.”

Crisalion Mobil­i­ty, for­mer­ly UMILES NEXT, appoints Manuel Here­dia Ortiz as Man­ag­ing Direc­tor from Air­bus

Samir Mohamed, Air Chateau’s Chair­man, added, “Through this part­ner­ship, we will not only enhance con­nec­tiv­i­ty, but also con­tribute to alle­vi­at­ing the bur­den on lega­cy ground infra­struc­ture, com­ple­ment exist­ing trans­porta­tion net­works, reduce con­ges­tion and build a sus­tain­able future.”

CRISALION’s Integri­ty eVTOL, present­ly under devel­op­ment, is designed to accom­mo­date up to five pas­sen­gers and a pilot. The air­craft will be suit­able for urban and inter­ci­ty pas­sen­ger and car­go trans­port. 

Designed with Fly­Free tech­nol­o­gy, “the air­craft guar­an­tees the utmost safe­ty at all stages of flight, deliv­er­ing an opti­mal trav­el expe­ri­ence while min­imis­ing emis­sions,” con­cludes the release.
