Swiss private jet and helicopter operator Air-Dynamic just signed an agreement with Germany-based Lilium to take five Lilium Jet eVTOLs. The company plans to operate and manage the all-electric aircraft for customers in Switzerland. Air-Dynamic selected the Lilium Pioneer Edition model, which features a four-seat club-configured cabin rather than the standard six-passenger layout. The order is backed by an unspecified deposit.

Lilium (Booth D32) is building just 50 examples of the Pioneer Edition, for which customers can specify their preferred fabrics and other materials. Prices range from $7 million to $10 million per aircraft, depending on the interior fittings and other specifications. In December, private aircraft management and charter group Volare agreed to buy up to 20 Pioneer Edition eVTOLs for its new eVolare division. At the time, Lilium said that the pre-delivery deposit payment would be up to 50 percent of the purchase price.
