Our Bureau - : May 1, 2024 - : 2:46 am

Eve Air Mobility joins Japan’s Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Public-Private Committee, as announced by the company’s press release on Tuesday (Apr. 30). This committee advises Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade & Industry and Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport & Tourism on AAM regulations and policies.

Established in 2018, the committee discusses various AAM services, such as passenger transportation, scenic flights, and air ambulance services across Japan.

“The Japanese government and the private sector have been proactive in working together to develop the Advanced Air Mobility market and clarify the regulatory framework needed to make it a reality. We are honored to become a member of the Japan AAM Public-Private Committee and help advance this work,” said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve Air Mobility.

“We look forward to helping understand and define a business model that not only enables eVTOL flights in Japan but also advances the overall mobility ecosystem.”

Before selection, Eve presented how the company could contribute as a committee member. With the most diverse customer base in the industry, Eve aims to provide its global perspective and expertise to aid Japan’s AAM industry development.

“Eve is committed to establishing and helping safely scale the AAM ecosystem in Asia Pacific region,” said Bordais.

“We are looking forward to continued partnership with our partners in Japan as we move toward entry into service in 2026. With the recent announcement of up to 50 eVTOL aircraft by AirX, Japan’s largest public helicopter air charter service, Eve continues to expand its relationships in the country,” he added.

Eve has made strides in developing its eVTOL aircraft. The company has begun constructing its full-scale prototype and is on track to start testing the aircraft in 2024. With a range of up to 100km (60 miles) and speeds of 100 knots, Eve’s aircraft currently has booked 2,900 orders.

Additionally, Eve will provide its customers access to a global network of service centres through its collaboration with Embraer, one of the world’s largest aircraft manufacturers. The company is also developing various solutions to support its customers from Day 1, including flight operations solutions, network optimisation, data management, and eVTOL health monitoring.
