PAS 2025: Future Flight Global pen separate agreements with Eve Air Mobility and UrbanV to build AAM network in Brazil

Future Flight Glob­al (FFG) have announced two key part­ner­ships at this week’s Paris Air Show, which focus­es on devel­op­ing an Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM) net­work in Brazil.

The first agree­ment is with Eve Air Mobil­i­ty, where FFG has signed a Let­ter of Intent for up to 54 of Eve’s eVTOL air­craft to tar­get the Brazil and Unit­ed States mar­kets.

This announce­ment fol­lows the release of Eve’s inau­gur­al Glob­al Mar­ket Out­look, detail­ing the growth and demand sur­round­ing the urban air mobil­i­ty cat­e­go­ry for the next twen­ty years. Ear­li­er this week, Eve announced a part­ner­ship with Revo worth $250 mil­lion, for up to 50 eVTOL air­craft.

Karan Singh, CEO of Future Flight Glob­al, said: “Eve’s aircraft—rooted in Embraer’s 55-year lega­cy of design­ing, cer­ti­fy­ing, and sup­port­ing com­mer­cial and busi­ness aircraft—checks every box: strong per­for­mance para­me­ters, pas­sen­ger-first ergonom­ics, clear cer­ti­fi­ca­tion path­way, and scal­able pro­duc­tion sys­tem.

“We look for­ward to ANAC cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and deploy­ing these air­craft in Brazil and addi­tion­al high- demand mar­kets world­wide in the near future.”

Megha Bha­tia, Chief Com­mer­cial Offi­cer at Eve Air Mobil­i­ty, said: “This col­lab­o­ra­tion with Future Flight Glob­al is a sig­nif­i­cant step for­ward for Urban Air Mobil­i­ty in the Amer­i­c­as.

“By lever­ag­ing Eve’s proven eVTOL tech­nol­o­gy and robust cer­ti­fi­ca­tion process, Future Flight Glob­al gains a pow­er­ful plat­form to deliv­er effi­cient, sus­tain­able air trav­el in high-demand mar­kets such as Brazil and the Unit­ed States.“

The sec­ond agree­ment involves UrbanV, with the com­pa­ny and FFG announc­ing addi­tion­al mar­ket deploy­ment stem­ming from their recent­ly estab­lished strate­gic part­ner­ship; the devel­op­ment of an AAM net­work in São Paulo.

With more than 400 heli­copters and 200 heli­pads, the Brazil­ian city hosts the world’s largest civil­ian rotor­craft fleet, mak­ing it a prime launch­pad for eVTOL oper­a­tions.

In a press release released ear­li­er this week, FFG’s part­ner­ship with UrbanV lever­ages this exist­ing infra­struc­ture to accel­er­ate the imple­men­ta­tion of scal­able, sus­tain­able urban and region­al air mobil­i­ty solu­tions.

The joint net­work will con­nect São Paulo’s key urban and region­al loca­tions — includ­ing Faria Lima, Inter­la­gos, Alphav­ille, and major airports—and will explore future expan­sion to oth­er met­ro­pol­i­tan areas, such as Rio de Janeiro.

Com­ment­ing on this part­ner­ship, Singh said: “Brazil already leads the world in ver­ti­cal flight activ­i­ty, giv­ing it both the readi­ness and pub­lic accep­tance for next-gen­er­a­tion elec­tric air­craft.

“We’re proud to deep­en our part­ner­ship with UrbanV and build on the foun­da­tion they’ve laid to build a robust AAM network—starting in São Paulo and expand­ing to Rio de Janeiro and beyond.”

UrbanV is already active in Brazil through its col­lab­o­ra­tion with Pax Aero­por­tos, includ­ing par­tic­i­pa­tion in nation­al sand­box reg­u­la­to­ry ini­tia­tives. The Cam­po de Marte Air­port project, co-devel­oped with Pax, is Brazil’s first ver­ti­port test­bed and will serve as the cen­tral hub of the planned net­work.

Car­lo Tur­si, CEO of UrbanV, added: “Brazil is one of the most attrac­tive mar­kets world­wide for AAM, and this part­ner­ship with FFG allows us to unlock its full poten­tial.

“By com­bin­ing our ver­ti­port devel­op­ment exper­tise with FFG’s oper­a­tional capa­bil­i­ties and fleet com­mit­ment, we aim to deliv­er a seam­less, inte­grat­ed ver­ti­port net­work, build­ing the future of mobil­i­ty.”
