French charter operator Jet Systems Hélicoptères Services has signed an agreement to buy a pair of Volocopter’s VoloCity two-seat eVTOL aircraft. The deal was announced on February 18 with the German manufacturer still seeking new investors to avoid insolvency.

The companies said they aim to launch piloted eVTOL air taxi services in the Paris area with the VoloCity, which has a range of just under 20 nm. The partnership is expected to be extended to support operations in both the southwest and southeast of France, with Volocopter committed to providing support including pilot training, maintenance and operations through its VoloIQ fleet management software.
