“SkyDrive Joins Public/Private Discussion For eVTOL Operations in Thailand”

Japan-based Sky­Drive recent­ly announced its par­tic­i­pa­tion in public/private dis­cus­sions with the Civ­il Avi­a­tion Author­i­ty of Thai­land, Bangkok Air­ways, Saha Group and Saha Tokyu Corps, to form eVTOL air­craft oper­a­tions in Thai­land, reports a press release.

This fol­lows on from a Mem­o­ran­dum of Under­stand­ing (MOU) with Thai con­glom­er­ate, Saha Pathana Inter-Hold­ing and Saha Tokyu Cor­po­ra­tion in June, to explore eVTOL ser­vices in the coun­try.

The release explains, “Public/private col­lab­o­ra­tion is essen­tial, involv­ing not only air­craft devel­op­ers but also var­i­ous organ­i­sa­tions and com­pa­nies respon­si­ble for legal frame­works and infra­struc­ture devel­op­ment.”

It con­tin­ues, “The recent meet­ing was held at the Civ­il Avi­a­tion Author­i­ty of Thai­land (CAAT) head­quar­ters. Rep­re­sen­ta­tives from CAAT, Bangkok Air­ways, Saha Pathana Inter-Hold­ing, Saha Tokyu Corps and Sky­Drive, exchanged infor­ma­tion and ideas.”

Fol­low­ing the signed June MOU, Sky­Drive is explor­ing busi­ness prospects for its air­craft in Thai­land, focus­ing on loca­tions such as Si Racha, Koh Samui and Bangkok with Bangkok Air­ways. A poten­tial vis­it to Japan by CAAT to watch SkyDrive’s flight demon­stra­tions is under con­sid­er­a­tion.
