Eve Air Mobility, Signature Aviation Collaborate “to Research Ecosystem Requirements and Services for AAM Ground Operations”

Eve Air Mobil­i­ty and Sig­na­ture Avi­a­tion have recent­ly signed a Mem­o­ran­dum of Under­stand­ing (MOU) “to explore the nec­es­sary require­ments for safe, scal­able ground oper­a­tions for Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM), along with an intent to inte­grate Vec­tor, Eve’s urban traf­fic air man­age­ment (UTM) soft­ware,” reports a press release. Sig­na­ture Avi­a­tion is one of world’s largest net­work of pri­vate avi­a­tion ter­mi­nals.

The MOU brings togeth­er two high­ly expe­ri­enced play­ers in the glob­al aero­space indus­try. As part of the agree­ment, the two com­pa­nies will also explore poten­tial future com­mer­cial part­ner­ships. 

Luiz Mauad, Eve VP of Ser­vices, Oper­a­tions Solu­tions, Strate­gic Design & Ecosys­tem remarked, “We will lever­age the com­pa­nies’ com­bined glob­al pres­ence and expe­ri­ence in ser­vic­ing air­craft and cre­at­ing seam­less pas­sen­ger expe­ri­ences. Signature’s insight into ground ser­vices needs, local knowl­edge, pri­vate avi­a­tion ter­mi­nal oper­a­tions and pas­sen­ger ser­vices will assist to accel­er­ate prepa­ra­tions for eVTOLs to launch and scale.”

In addi­tion to the MOU, the two com­pa­nies have signed a Let­ter of Intent (LOI) for Vec­tor, Eve’s UTM 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. 

Vec­tor is to sup­port reli­able, effi­cient and scal­able fleet and ver­ti­port oper­a­tions, enabling oper­a­tors to adapt as the indus­try grows. The com­pa­ny is advanc­ing towards an oper­a­tional ver­sion of the soft­ware which cus­tomers can now test and tri­al to help progress the mar­ket.

Derek DeCross, CCO of Sig­na­ture Avi­a­tion, com­ment­ed, “We’re always look­ing ahead to cre­ate and deliv­er excep­tion­al expe­ri­ences for our clients, and work­ing towards the most com­pre­hen­sive ground infra­struc­ture for eVTOL air­craft is a major part of that mis­sion.” 

He con­tin­ued, “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.”
