Norway-based airline Wideroe is to work with Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions to evaluate the potential for launching eVTOL aircraft operations in Scandinavia. Under a memorandum of understanding signed on November 10, the partners will work through Wideroe's new Air Mobility Business Incubator on plans to launch services to a region with dispersed population centers and challenging geography.

The joint project will be conducted by the airline’s Wideroe Zero unit, which is charged with accelerating the implementation of new aviation technology and service options. The agreement does not specifically mention plans for the carrier to acquire and operate the four-passenger, all-electric eVTOL that Eve is working to bring to market in 2026.
