Fractional ownership company NetJets has agreed to add 150 of Lilium’s eVTOL aircraft to its fleet. Under a memorandum of understanding, the U.S.-based group has secured purchase rights for the six-passenger model, which could be operated in both the U.S. and Europe.

In a February 28 statement to Lilium investors, the German company said that NetJets might get involved in supporting sales of the Lilium Jet to private owners. NetJets would operate the aircraft and might also become a flight operations partner for Lilium’s planned service network in Florida and other locations.
