Wencheng County Transportation Development Group in China’s Zhejiang province has taken delivery of 27 of the initial batch of 30 EH216-S eVTOL aircraft it is buying from EHang. This week, the Chinese manufacturer reported that it conducted the first passenger-carrying flight with its latest customer to mark the launch of a new tourism initiative based near the port city of Wenzhou on the East China Sea coast.

Like many of EHang’s eVTOL demonstrations at various locations across China, the flight was conducted under a temporary license granted by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), which has not yet issued operating certificates for the new mode of transportation. EHang said it is working with the agency to develop operating standards for the two-seat, fully autonomous EH216-S. Once the CAAC releases the requirements, operators will be able to apply for the certificates to permit commercial operations.
