Tokyo-based air charter broker AirX placed a firm order for two Eve Air Mobility eVTOL aircraft and options for 48 more—a deal potentially worth $250 million (at estimated list prices)—on Wednesday at the Singapore Airshow. AirX will use the electric aircraft mainly for transfer and sightseeing flights in Japan, with a focus on the Osaka Bay area. Its first two eVTOLs are expected to be delivered in 2029.

AirX has been arranging these types of flights throughout Japan in helicopters, flown by partner companies holding air operator certificates, for nearly 11 years via its Airos Skyview online booking platform. Bookings at the company are evenly split between transfer and sightseeing flights. An app planned for launch in the second quarter will provide a more user-friendly interface that would better facilitate ad-hoc advanced air mobility (AAM) bookings, AirX founder and CEO Kiwamu Tezuka told AIN.
