Eve partners with first vertiport operator Globalvia Bluenest
Eve Air Mobility has signed with Globalvia’s Bluenest to focus on vertiport infrastructure using Eve’s Urban Air Traffic Management (UATM) software in support of future vertiport automation systems.
The companies will jointly deploy the software for urban air mobility (UAM) operations by developing an operational model in specific regions and missions according to Bluenest’s needs.
Bluenest by Globalvia managing director Gema Ferrero remarked: “We firmly believe collaboration is the best way to make future air mobility a reality, so Eve and Bluenest will be able to better manage vertiport urban air mobility operations and related infrastructure, thus bonding sky and ground between the two companies.”
Eve co-CEO Andre Stein added: “Collaborating with Bluenest by Globalvia will further increase industry knowledge and perception of Eve as a strong provider of UATM solutions, and continue to foster our understanding of vertiport operations.
“Our software will support the integrated operation of UAM aircraft, optimising operational performance and safety, as well as preparing for both scale and eventual integration of uncrewed vehicles.”
Eve’s UATM software aims to maximise vertiport efficiency and ensure high resource utilisation as well as safe, effective air traffic management. Eve’s further development of its UATM customer base demonstrates its commitment to safe and successful vertiport operations and the full ecosystem necessary for a robust UAM market.
Bluenest enters a selected group of partners to better improve its UAM operations focussing on infrastructure, the strategy being to operate a network of vertiports designed to be interoperable and environmentally sustainable.
Bluenest is committed to empowering the life quality of citizens and tackling important challenges in congested cities and remote areas, by bridging and connecting people and goods while also minimising the carbon footprint involved.
Last month, Eve Air Mobility signed with Skyway Technologies to provide Eve’s Urban Air Traffic Management (UATM) software solution.
In September, United Airlines Ventures invested $15 million with Eve Air Mobility after signing for up to 400 Eve eVTOL Aircraft, having already secured $10 million with Archer Aviation.
