Helicopter charter booking service Ascent is in talks with multiple eVTOL aircraft developers about possible partnerships to support their use for urban air mobility air taxi services. The Singapore-based company, which views electric aircraft as a key step in making the air charter sector more environmentally sustainable, also announced this week that it has committed to the United Nations Carbon Neutral Now pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As part of that effort, Ascent will support carbon offsetting programs to compensate for emissions from rideshare flights booked.
