Eve Air Mobility signs Letter of Intent with Global Crossing Airlines for up to 200 eVTOL aircraft, adding to its growing order book

Eve Air Mobil­i­ty has added to its grow­ing order book by sign­ing a Let­ter of Intent with Glob­al Cross­ing Air­lines Group for up to 200 of its eVTOL air­craft.

This poten­tial sale is includ­ed in Eve’s cur­rent order back­log of up to 1,785, with the com­pa­ny expect­ing deliv­er­ies to start in 2026. The part­ner­ship also intends to explore the devel­op­ment of an ecosys­tem to scale Urban Air Mobil­i­ty and rein­forces the Con­cept of Oper­a­tions (CONOPS) in Mia­mi-Dade Coun­ty that was announced yes­ter­day (Wednes­day).

The con­sor­tium – which fea­tures Sky­ports, L3Harris Tech­nolo­gies and the Com­mu­ni­ty Air Mobil­i­ty Ini­tia­tive (CAMI) – exam­ined the ecosys­tem required for both pas­sen­ger and vehi­cle jour­neys, received valu­able insights and feed­back from stake­hold­ers and accessed local­ly, pub­licly avail­able infor­ma­tion.

Andre Stein, co-CEO of Eve, said: “We are delight­ed with this part­ner­ship with Glob­alX, which will max­imise our efforts to struc­ture UAM oper­a­tions. Their expe­ri­ence as an air­line will con­tribute to the expan­sion of Eve’s eVTOL deploy­ment in North Amer­i­ca.

“The part­ner­ship also ensures both com­pa­nies’ com­mit­ment to deliv­er­ing sus­tain­able UAM and pro­vid­ing the com­mu­ni­ty with bet­ter and faster solu­tions.”

Glob­alX is a US 121 domes­tic flag and sup­ple­men­tal air­line fly­ing the Air­bus A320 fam­i­ly air­craft. Glob­alX flies as a pas­sen­ger ACMI and char­ter air­line serv­ing the US, Caribbean, and Latin Amer­i­can mar­kets. In 2022, Glob­alX will enter ACMI car­go ser­vice fly­ing the A321 freighter, sub­ject to DOT and FAA approvals.

GlobalX’s exper­tise as a flag air­line will con­tribute not only to the for­mu­la­tion of the infra­struc­ture need­ed to per­mit eVTOL flights, but also the deploy­ment of Eve’s air­craft through­out their net­work.

Ed Wegel, Chair, and CEO of Glob­alX, said: “We are hon­oured to be work­ing with Eve Air Mobil­i­ty and believe their affil­i­a­tion with Embraer ensures Eve will be the best posi­tioned eVTOL OEM.

“These eVTOLs will enable us to expand our mar­ket through­out south Flori­da, bring­ing our cus­tomers to their flights at MIA and FLL, as well as local fly­ing with­in Key West and all of the Keys, Naples, and Palm Beach. This will help extend and expand our brand.”
