The first deal of the 2025 Paris Air Show was sealed on Sunday, when Brazil’s Revo signed a binding contract that will see it operate air taxi services in São Paulo with 50 Eve Air Mobility four-passenger eVTOL aircraft. The spinoff from helicopter group Omni intends to take delivery of the first 10 vehicles in late 2027, with the others to follow as it scales up the operation.
These sales are set to be the first of more than 1,000 commercial aircraft orders anticipated at Le Bourget this week. According to analysts at investment group Jefferies, carriers including IndiGo, Riyadh Air, Cathay Pacific, LOT Polish Airlines, and Turkish Airlines are expected to account for the lion's share of these. However, there is now doubt about whether Air India will complete orders for around 200 narrowbodies and 40 widebodies as it deals with the consequences of Thursday’s fatal accident involving one of the airline’s Boeing 787s in Ahmedabad (see page 4).
