As multiple urban air mobility developers jostle to launch commercial services in the Middle East, Eve Air Mobility is to evaluate passenger-carrying eVTOL routes within the region. A newly forged partnership with Bahrain could see these commence domestically as soon as 2028, the Embraer spin-off announced on November 3.

Eve said it is considering “premium shuttle and tourist routes in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, Doha, Istanbul, and Manama.” This builds upon a new agreement signed with Bahrain’s Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications (MTT), which Eve says will “accelerate the readiness of Bahrain’s regulatory, operational and infrastructure ecosystem for eVTOL operations”.
