Eve Air Mobility, a global leader in next-generation electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) solutions, has signed its second binding order with Tokyo-based AirX, a leading Japanese provider of innovative air mobility services. The binding order includes the purchase of up to 50 eVTOL aircraft, marking a significant step toward advancing sustainable urban air mobility solutions in Japan.
Johann Bordais, Chief Executive Officer at Eve Air Mobility, stated that the first agreement in Asia-Pacific with AirX is more than a milestone—it launches a new era that will redefine urban mobility. He noted that Asia-Pacific is poised to help lead the global transformation toward sustainable air transportation, and together the companies are pioneering solutions that will redefine how cities connect, move, and thrive.
Under the agreement, AirX will integrate Eve’s eVTOL aircraft into its operations, supporting the company’s vision to offer efficient, zero-emission transportation alternatives for urban and regional travel. The initial two aircraft are expected to be delivered in 2029, with potential for further expansion as demand for advanced air mobility grows.
Kiwamu Tezuka, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at AirX, said that AirX is excited to partner with Eve to bring next-generation air transportation to Japan, reinforcing commitment to sustainability and innovation while positioning AirX at the forefront of the evolving air mobility market.
Megha Bhatia, Chief Commercial Officer at Eve Air Mobility, added that receiving this award from AirX underscores shared commitment to elevating the traveler experience, noting that Japan is positioned to be a leader in the region with its strategic focus on AAM. Eve’s eVTOLs will be used to serve sightseeing routes and last-mile missions in cities such as Tokyo and Osaka. The agreement builds on Eve’s growing global footprint and underscores increasing demand for sustainable air mobility solutions worldwide.
