Eve this week became the latest eVTOL aircraft developer to announce plans to prepare the way for flights in the Miami area. The company also announced another agreement covering provisional sales of up to 200 of the four-passenger eVTOL vehicle that it aims to bring to market in 2026, taking the number of commitments it has logged so far to 1,785 units.

The Florida-based company, which is a subsidiary of Brazilian aerospace group Embraer, is forming a consortium of companies to develop a concept of operations (Conops) for urban air mobility (UAM) services connecting Miami International Airport (MIA) and the Miami Beach Convention Center. The consortium also includes air traffic management specialist L3 Harris Technologies, ground infrastructure provider Skyports, and the Community Air Mobility Initiative (CAMI).
