Eviation’s Alice aircraft chosen by UrbanLink Air Mobility in latest partnership deal

Urban­Link Air Mobil­i­ty will pur­chase 10 of Evi­a­tion Air­craft’s nine-pas­sen­ger elec­tric air­craft — with an option to acquire 10 more — as part of a new part­ner­ship deal between both com­pa­nies.

Based in Wash­ing­ton State, Evi­a­tion Air­craft devel­ops and man­u­fac­tures elec­tric air­craft to pro­vide oper­a­tors and pas­sen­gers with green, cost effi­cient and con­ve­nient region­al trans­porta­tion.

The addi­tion of Eviation’s Alice air­craft marks a sig­nif­i­cant mile­stone in Urban­Link’s com­mit­ment to sus­tain­abil­i­ty and inno­va­tion, posi­tion­ing the com­pa­ny at the fore­front of zero-emis­sion region­al air trav­el.

Ed Wegel, Urban­Link Founder and Chair­man, said: “Our order for 10 Evi­a­tion Alice air­craft com­pletes the third leg of our all-elec­tric oper­at­ing plan, giv­ing us the abil­i­ty to offer 9‑seat, zero-emis­sion flights across our net­work.

“Togeth­er with our region­al eVTOL air­craft and elec­tric sea ves­sels, we will pro­vide seam­less, sus­tain­able trav­el options across the regions we serve, set­ting the stage for a ful­ly inte­grat­ed, eco-friend­ly trav­el expe­ri­ence.”

Since its launch in April 2024, Urban­Link has rapid­ly advanced its mis­sion to lead the U.S. mar­ket in all elec­tric, zero-emis­sion trans­porta­tion solu­tions.

In May, the com­pa­ny announced a part­ner­ship with Lil­i­um to pur­chase 20 of its pio­neer­ing Lil­i­um jets. With its AAM oper­a­tions expect­ed to enter ser­vice by Sum­mer 2026, Urban­Link is poised to be the first air­line in the U.S. to inte­grate eVTOL air­craft into its fleet.

Urban­Link has also forged part­ner­ships with Fer­rovial Ver­ti­ports and Sky­way Tech­nolo­gies to estab­lish strate­gic ver­ti­ports in key mar­kets.

Andre Stein, CEO of Evi­a­tion, added: “We are thrilled to part­ner with Urban­Link in rev­o­lu­tion­iz­ing region­al air mobil­i­ty. This part­ner­ship with Urban­Link to oper­ate our Alice air­craft marks a sig­nif­i­cant mile­stone in our shared vision of cre­at­ing a sus­tain­able and effi­cient trans­porta­tion net­work.

“Alice’s zero-emis­sions tech­nol­o­gy and unmatched pas­sen­ger expe­ri­ence will enable Urban­Link to offer unpar­al­leled ser­vice while con­tribut­ing to a green­er future.”

Beyond air trav­el, Urban­Link is embrac­ing inno­v­a­tive mar­itime solu­tions, with plans to oper­ate Artemis Tech­nolo­gies’ zero-emis­sion water taxis and REGENT Craft’s Viceroy seaglid­ers, fur­ther enhanc­ing its sus­tain­able trav­el offer­ings.

Urban­Link is cur­rent­ly focused on Miami/South Flori­da, Los Angeles/Southern Cal­i­for­nia, and the Caribbean, with addi­tion­al routes and regions to be announced in the near future.
