Eve’s urban air taxis will carry four passengers and a pilot on short distances.
Eve Air Mobility announced conditional orders from a lessor and two operators for up to 150 air taxis, adding to its backlog of almost 2,800 for the electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) vehicles.
The orders, announced June 20 at the Paris Air Show, include an LOI for up to 30 aircraft to lessor Nordic Aviation Capital; an LOI for up to 70 air taxis to Brazilian general aviation service company Voar Aviation; and an LOI for up to 50 eVTOLs to Norwegian regional carrier Widerøe.
The company’s agreement with Widerøe—part of the airline’s Widerøe Zero sustainability initiative—also includes services for maintenance, component repair, spare parts management, battery lifecycle management and data integration solutions, alongside operational solutions including training, consultancy and on-site support for fleet entry-into-service.
The Eve electric air taxis are designed to carry four passengers and a pilot up to 100 km (62 mi.) at entry-into-service, currently expected in 2026.
