Lilium this week made its eVTOL aircraft available for purchase by U.S. private owners through an agreement with aircraft management and charter group EMC Jet. Under an agreement announced on October 18, EMC Jet committed to taking five of the four-passenger Pioneer Edition versions of the all-electric Lilium Jet and to act as the German manufacturer’s exclusive private sales dealer in Texas where it is based through 2030.

The deal appears similar in structure to the one Lilium reached with UK-based private aviation group Volare, which has committed to acquiring up to 20 of the Pioneer Edition with a view to remarketing these to private owners. Volare will operate the aircraft through its new eVolare division, and is one of several European companies with which Lilium has reached commercial terms to offer the Lilium Jet to business aviation customers.
