Eve Air Mobility and RV Connex Partner on Thailand’s AAM Regulatory Framework

Eve Air Mobil­i­ty and Thai aero­space com­pa­ny RV Con­nex have signed a mem­o­ran­dum of under­stand­ing (MOU) to sup­port the devel­op­ment of a reg­u­la­to­ry frame­work for advanced air mobil­i­ty (AAM) in Thai­land.

The agree­ment is focused on estab­lish­ing the reg­u­la­to­ry and oper­a­tional con­di­tions need­ed for future com­mer­cial AAM ser­vices, includ­ing urban air mobil­i­ty oper­a­tions using elec­tric ver­ti­cal take­off and land­ing (eVTOL) air­craft.

Under the MOU, the two com­pa­nies will work on long-term indus­try and reg­u­la­to­ry engage­ment, bring­ing togeth­er stake­hold­ers from gov­ern­ment, acad­e­mia and the pri­vate sec­tor. The col­lab­o­ra­tion will exam­ine oper­a­tional sce­nar­ios rel­e­vant to Thai­land, as well as require­ments cov­er­ing safe­ty, air­space man­age­ment and infra­struc­ture.

The part­ners said the work will draw on emerg­ing inter­na­tion­al AAM stan­dards while adapt­ing them to Thailand’s avi­a­tion envi­ron­ment. RV Con­nex will take a role in coor­di­nat­ing with local stake­hold­ers as the frame­work devel­ops.

“Thai­land offers a fan­tas­tic oppor­tu­ni­ty for urban air mobil­i­ty,” said Johann Bor­dais, CEO of Eve Air Mobil­i­ty. He added that work­ing with a local part­ner would help estab­lish the reg­u­la­to­ry and oper­a­tional foun­da­tions need­ed for the sec­tor. “Work­ing with RV Con­nex lets us help shape the reg­u­la­tions this indus­try needs to grow. This MOU shows our strong com­mit­ment to build­ing the need­ed reg­u­la­to­ry and oper­a­tional foun­da­tions togeth­er with local part­ners.

“RV Con­nex wants to help make Thai­land a leader in glob­al advanced air mobil­i­ty,” said Sujate Jan­tarang, pres­i­dent of RV Con­nex. “Our MOU with Eve Air Mobil­i­ty and our part­ners will cre­ate a strong frame­work to help Thai author­i­ties devel­op mod­ern, glob­al­ly aligned reg­u­la­tions for this new tech­nol­o­gy.”
