PAS 2025: Eve Air Mobility and Revo accelerate Urban Air Mobility with $250 million contract for up to 50 eVTOL aircraft

Eve Air Mobil­i­ty has signed its first bind­ing frame­work agree­ment for up to 50 eVTOL air­craft with Revo, an advanced urban air mobil­i­ty (UAM) oper­a­tor head­quar­tered in São Paulo, Brazil, and its par­ent com­pa­ny, Heli­copters Inter­na­tion­al SA (OHI).

Revo will become the launch oper­a­tor for Eve’s eVTOLs in São Paulo, with first deliv­ery planned for Q4 2027. Described as one of the world’s most dynam­ic and advanced mar­kets for aer­i­al mobil­i­ty, São Paulo has more than 400 reg­is­tered heli­copters and near­ly 2,000 dai­ly take­offs and land­ings.

Johann Bor­dais, CEO of Eve Air Mobil­i­ty, said: “This bind­ing agree­ment with Revo and OHI is a piv­otal step for Eve, demon­strat­ing grow­ing mar­ket con­fi­dence in our tech­nol­o­gy and oper­a­tional mod­el.

“By mov­ing from con­cept to imple­men­ta­tion, we are not only advanc­ing our com­mer­cial roadmap but also help­ing to shape a robust and sus­tain­able UAM ecosys­tem, set­ting a glob­al bench­mark for eVTOL deploy­ment.”

Revo, whol­ly owned by OHI, cur­rent­ly oper­ates a door-to-door mobil­i­ty solu­tion, inte­grat­ing car and lug­gage ser­vices with sched­uled heli­copter ser­vice con­nect­ing key loca­tions in south­east Brazil.

These include dai­ly flights between Zona Sul and GRU Inter­na­tion­al Air­port, a route that typ­i­cal­ly takes 1.5 to 3 hours by car but can be com­plet­ed in just 10 min­utes by air. With Eve’s eVTOL air­craft, these oper­a­tions will become ful­ly elec­tric and sus­tain­able, deliv­er­ing a supe­ri­or cus­tomer expe­ri­ence, and sup­port­ing the city’s goals for green­er trans­porta­tion.

Joao Welsh, Revo CEO, said: “Our deci­sion to part­ner with Eve Air Mobil­i­ty was clear, root­ed in their mature design, com­pre­hen­sive sup­port ecosys­tem, and Embraer’s unpar­al­leled aero­space her­itage.

“These eVTOL air­craft will be the cor­ner­stone of our ambi­tious plan to rev­o­lu­tion­ize Revo’s high touch mobil­i­ty ser­vice, offer­ing a safe sus­tain­able, and scal­able busi­ness that will con­nect com­mu­ni­ties and rede­fine con­ve­nience.”

The con­tract between Eve and Revo also includes asso­ci­at­ed entry into ser­vice and after­mar­ket ser­vices, which encom­pass­es eVTOL air­craft and com­pre­hen­sive after­mar­ket sup­port through Eve’s Tech­Care pack­age. It is described as an all-in-one suite of oper­a­tional sup­port designed to stream­line eVTOL oper­a­tions and max­i­mize fleet per­for­mance.

This bind­ing pro­pos­al builds on the strate­gic col­lab­o­ra­tion between Eve, OHI, and Revo, which includes pre­vi­ous agree­ments for air­craft, ser­vice solu­tions, and suc­cess­ful sim­u­la­tions of urban air traf­fic man­age­ment using Eve’s Vec­tor soft­ware.

Jere­my Akel, Group CEO, Omni Heli­copters Inter­na­tion­al, said: “Adding up to 50 of Eve Air Mobility’s eVTOLs to our fleet fur­thers our diver­si­fi­ca­tion jour­ney and lead­er­ship in the low alti­tude econ­o­my. Our part­ner­ship with Eve is evi­dence of our shared vision to bring to life rev­o­lu­tion­ary mobil­i­ty ideas that trans­form how peo­ple move with­in cities.”

Megha Bha­tia, CCO at Eve Air Mobil­i­ty, added: “Our eVTOL is designed to seam­less­ly inte­grate into exist­ing trans­porta­tion net­works, pro­vid­ing oper­a­tors with a vital link to com­plete their pas­sen­gers’ jour­ney.

Our air­craft enables Revo and oper­a­tors to pro­vide the last mile of ser­vice, such as air­port shut­tles to and from the city, in a frac­tion of the time. A safe, effi­cient, and inno­v­a­tive option that enhances con­nec­tiv­i­ty and reimag­ines urban air mobil­i­ty for oper­a­tors and their cus­tomers.”
