SkyDrive’s three-seat SD-05 eVTOL aircraft could be deployed on flights connecting passengers with Japanese rail services.

Charter operator Japan Biz Aviation has signed a memorandum of understanding with SkyDrive that could lead to the launch of operations with the latter’s three-seat SD-05 eVTOLs. The agreement, signed on Thursday, furthers SkyDrive’s effort to work with air operator certificate (AOC) holders that could support plans for eVTOL air-taxi services.

From its base at Tokyo Haneda Airport (RJTT), Japan Biz Aviation operates a fleet that includes several Bell 429 helicopters and HondaJets. According to SkyDrive, Japan Biz might provide eVTOL air-taxi flights as part of its existing collaboration with Japanese railway companies, although the announcement did not say how many SD-05s it might buy.
