“Eve Air Mobility, Aerosolutions, Bluenest by Globalvia Sign LOI for up to 50 eVTOLs, TechCare Services”

Eve Air Mobil­i­ty has signed a Let­ter of Intent (LOI) with Aeroso­lu­tions, which is devel­op­ing an inno­v­a­tive eVTOL oper­a­tor called Aeros Elec­tric Air­lines, as well as with Bluen­est by Glob­alvia, an advanced air mobil­i­ty (AAM) infra­struc­ture devel­op­er and ver­ti­port oper­a­tor, for the pur­chase of up to 50 eVTOL air­craft, reports a press release.

The LOI also includes access to Eve’s com­pre­hen­sive Tech­Care ser­vices, an all-in-one port­fo­lio of ser­vices designed to stream­line eVTOL oper­a­tions, main­te­nance and cus­tomer sup­port. The agree­ment rep­re­sents an impor­tant step towards devel­op­ing an AAM ecosys­tem in Cos­ta Rica.

Johann Bor­dais, CEO of Eve Air Mobil­i­ty, com­ment­ed, “Join­ing forces allows us to accel­er­ate air mobil­i­ty in the coun­try and trans­form trav­el in regions like Gua­nacaste, eas­ing con­ges­tion and bol­ster­ing the nation’s lead­er­ship in eco­tourism.”

The release explains, “The col­lab­o­ra­tion is to focus ini­tial­ly on the Pacif­ic region in north­west Cos­ta Rica, con­nect­ing air­ports to pre­mi­um resorts and eco-des­ti­na­tions via routes rang­ing from 20 to 50 kilo­me­tres. With tourism dri­ving over three mil­lion for­eign vis­i­tors annu­al­ly, the coun­try is the most vis­it­ed in Cen­tral Amer­i­ca. How­ev­er, its exten­sive but often con­gest­ed road net­work can lead to lengthy trav­el times.” 

It con­tin­ues, “By intro­duc­ing effi­cient, low-emis­sion air taxi ser­vices, the ini­tia­tive seeks to trans­form tourist and local mobil­i­ty, reduce ground traf­fic con­ges­tion, and rein­force Cos­ta Rica’s rep­u­ta­tion as a leader in sus­tain­able tourism.”

Megha Bha­tia, Chief Com­mer­cial Offi­cer at Eve, remarked, “By inte­grat­ing our eVTOL air­craft and Tech­Care ser­vices with our partner’s oper­a­tions, they can offer faster, more effi­cient and sus­tain­able trav­el options, espe­cial­ly in areas where ground routes are con­gest­ed or lim­it­ed.” 

She con­tin­ued, ”This part­ner­ship, for exam­ple, empow­ers Aeroso­lu­tions to dra­mat­i­cal­ly cut trav­el times, stream­line logis­tics and enhance the over­all pas­sen­ger expe­ri­ence.” Adding, “It’s not just a smarter way to trav­el, it is a bold leap into the future of con­nect­ed, region­al trans­porta­tion.”

Bluen­est, the AAM busi­ness line of Glob­alvia, will play an impor­tant role in devel­op­ing ver­ti­port infra­struc­ture. As the lead­ing oper­a­tor of Cos­ta Rica’s high­way (Ruta 27-Autopista del Sol), the com­pa­ny’s inte­grat­ed approach is expect­ed to facil­i­tate seam­less inter­modal con­nec­tions between air and ground trans­port, fur­ther enhanc­ing the end-to-end trav­eller expe­ri­ence.

Jose Igna­cio Rodriguez, MD of Bluen­est, said, “We are com­mit­ted to build­ing the sus­tain­able infra­struc­ture of tomor­row and our work in Cos­ta Rica with our part­ners will fur­ther progress ver­ti­port and air taxi tri­als in Gua­nacaste (Liberia air­port and Reser­va Con­chal).” 

He con­tin­ued, “It also rein­forces our inte­gra­tion with Eve’s Vec­tor UATM soft­ware for book­ing flight oper­a­tions at our ver­ti­port, first unveiled at Air­space World in Lis­bon last May.”

Mean­while, Aeroso­lu­tions will have access to Eve’s Tech­Care suite as part of the agree­ment. The part­ners will also col­lab­o­rate via work­shops cov­er­ing areas such as ver­ti­port devel­op­ment, air­space inte­gra­tion, pilot train­ing, cer­ti­fi­ca­tion require­ments and oper­a­tional plan­ning, lay­ing the ground­work for suc­cess­ful AAM deploy­ment in the region.
