Air taxi services using new eVTOL aircraft are coming to several regions of Europe under a pair of agreements signed this week by Lilium and new customers at the Farnborough Airshow. Between them, Norway-based AAP Aviation Group and ASL Group, which maintains operations in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, plan to add almost 50 of the seven-seat Lilium Jet all-electric aircraft to their fleets.

Starting in Norway, AAP says it intends to purchase 40 Lilium Jets and develop a network of landing sites across Scandinavia. The company, which specializes in airline crew management, says the flights of up to around 156 miles will supplement existing regional airline routes.
