EvFly Signs with Al Shaheen Aviation Holding for UAE General Civil Aviation Authority

Sin­ga­pore-based EvFly and Al Sha­heen Avi­a­tion Hold­ing have signed to estab­lish a part­ner­ship that pro­motes effec­tive use of col­lab­o­ra­tive­ly devel­oped infor­ma­tion and knowl­edge relat­ed to Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM) and eVTOLs in accor­dance with GCAA reg­u­la­tions.

This will stim­u­late inno­va­tion and growth in the air mobil­i­ty indus­try, devel­op nation­al tal­ent, and strength­en stake­hold­er capac­i­ty for engag­ing in urban air mobil­i­ty most­ly in the Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates (UAE).

The goal of this col­lab­o­ra­tion is to advance AAM tech­nolo­gies in the UAE and devel­op domes­tic tal­ent for future jobs, includ­ing a focus on train­ing and appren­tice­ships for all AAM sec­tors.

Efgan Dengür, CEO for the avi­a­tion divi­sion of YAS Hold­ing, com­ment­ed: “We are excit­ed to join forces with EvFly in this strate­gic part­ner­ship and togeth­er, we will work towards accel­er­at­ing the adop­tion of AAM and eVTOLs, fos­ter­ing inno­va­tion, and nur­tur­ing local tal­ent.

“We believe this col­lab­o­ra­tion will play a vital role in trans­form­ing the way peo­ple move in urban areas and pro­vide sig­nif­i­cant ben­e­fits to the UAE. This part­ner­ship marks an impor­tant mile­stone for both com­pa­nies, and Al Sha­heen Avi­a­tion looks for­ward to a suc­cess­ful and pro­duc­tive col­lab­o­ra­tion with EvFly.

“By com­bin­ing our exper­tise and shared vision, we are set to con­tribute to devel­op­ments shap­ing the future of advanced air mobil­i­ty in the region”

Al Sha­heen Avi­a­tion is a lead­ing inter­na­tion­al provider of air nav­i­ga­tion ser­vices, air­craft spares and com­po­nents sup­ply. Through its sub­sidiaries Glob­al Air Nav­i­ga­tion Ser­vices (GANS) and Glob­al Advanced Aero Solu­tions (GAAS), ASA is a key play­er in the UAE aero­space ecosys­tem.

EvFly’s founder and CEO, Yan­nick Erbs added: “Col­lab­o­rat­ing with Yas Avi­a­tion Divi­sion is great news for EvFly as it will strength­en its posi­tion in the AAM indus­try and cre­ate jobs in this sec­tor in the UAE.”

Last month, EvFly signed a let­ter of intent with the Ger­man-based FAST Group to pro­vide flight sim­u­la­tors for EvFly pilot train­ing and cus­tomers.
