Eve Air Mobility, an eVTOL developer backed by Brazilian aerospace group Embraer, has collected new orders for up to 150 new aircraft, bringing its total order backlog for the four-passenger air taxi up to 2,850 aircraft, the company announced Tuesday at the Paris Airshow. According to Eve, this&nbsp;represents the largest and most diversified order book among aircraft manufacturers in the nascent eVTOL industry.&nbsp;
Voar Aviation, a general aviation service provider based in São Paulo, Brazil, signed a letter of intent covering the purchase of 70 Eve eVTOL aircraft, which the company intends to operate in several locations across Brazil.&nbsp;
Widerøe Zero, the sustainability division of Norwegian airline Widerøe, has agreed to purchase up to 50 Eve eVTOLs. Eve and Widerøe have worked together since the 2021 United Nations Climate Conference (COP26) when the two companies signed a memorandum of understanding to evaluate the potential for eVTOL operations in Scandinavia. Now the airline has signed a letter of intent in which it has provisionally agreed to buy and operate Eve’s air taxis.&nbsp;
As part of the agreement with Widerøe, Eve will provide comprehensive services to support its eVTOL operations, including&nbsp;pilot training and maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities. Widerøe will also use Eve’s urban air traffic management software, designed to&nbsp;maximize operational efficiency while integrating with other airspace users.&nbsp;
Global aircraft leasing firm Nordic Aviation Capital&nbsp;signed a letter of intent covering the purchase of up to 30 Eve aircraft. According to Eve, the Copenhagen-based aircraft lessor has placed a firm order for 15 aircraft with the option of buying 15 more units that the company will lease to operators.&nbsp;
To further promote its eVTOL aircraft in Europe, Eve has expanded its longstanding partnership with Blade Air Mobility. In 2021, Eve agreed to provide Blade with up to 60 eVTOL aircraft through a network of local operators to serve Blade customers in South Florida and the U.S. West Coast. Last year Blade agreed to deploy up to 200 of Eve's eVTOLs in India.&nbsp;Now Blade plans to add Eve’s eVTOL to its European route network, with European operations launching in France.
