Sydney Seaplanes Plans eVTOL Tourist Flights with Eve Urban Air Mobility Deal
The company, which is the second Australian operator to sign up for Eve's four-passenger eVTOL in recent days, also plans to start a regional airline with electric fixed-wing aircraft.
Sydney Seaplanes has agreed to add 50 of Eve Urban Air Mobility’s four-passenger eVTOL aircraft to its fleet from 2026. The provisional order, announced on December 6, is the second commitment from a prospective Australian operator in two days, after Queensland-based helicopter operator Nautilus Aviation said it would take 10 of the all-electric aircraft.
Like Nautilus, Sydney Seaplanes plans to use the eVTOLs for tourist flights from Sydney Harbour as part of its wider plan to establish all-electric, zero-emissions scheduled flights. In 2020, it announced plans to set up a new regional airline from 2022 with all-electric flights using converted Cessna Caravans.
