Embraer’s Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions division and Kenya Airways’ Fahari Aviation subsidiary this week signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at developing plans for an African network of unmanned aircraft operations, and eventually eVTOL aircraft passenger service. 

Specific objectives for the alliance were not spelled out in an August 11 announcement. However, the agreement appears to be part of Eve's wider plans to develop an ecosystem to support advanced air mobility services using its four-passenger, all-electric aircraft, which is expected to have a range of around 60 miles and be certified for commercial use from 2026.
