Flight booking platform Helipass is positioning itself as a key enabler for commercial eVTOL aircraft operations, with plans to transition from a current business model based entirely on rotorcraft. The France-based company is in talks with its network of around 120 helicopter operators, serving some 650 destinations worldwide, to encourage them to transition to new electric aircraft.  

Last month, Helipass reached an agreement with Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions to market up to 100,000 flight hours annually in the Embraer subsidiary’s four-passenger Electrical Vertical Aircraft. However, the deal is not exclusive. The company intends to include multiple other eVTOL types in its platform, and it has approached manufacturers including Volocopter, Joby, and Lilium.
