Eve Air Mobility and FlyBIS Aviation Limited signed a binding agreement for up to 12 electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, or eVTOLs, for use in southern Brazil. The deal includes two firm orders and purchase rights for 10 additional aircraft.
FlyBIS plans to begin by connecting destinations in the states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. Potential routes include Navegantes, Balneário Camboriú and Florianópolis on the Santa Catarina coast, as well as tourism destinations in Rio Grande do Sul’s mountain region, including Gramado and Bento Gonçalves.
The agreement builds on a letter of intent announced by the companies in 2022. Eve and FlyBIS will continue work on network planning, operational readiness, infrastructure and integrating eVTOL services into the wider transportation system.
