Eve held its first advisory board meeting last month in the Portuguese capital Lisbon. The eVTOL aircraft developer took until July 6 to confirm details of the June 14-15 event, reporting that it generated valuable feedback and dialog among customers and partners about several aspects of the urban air mobility market. The event—attended by more than 20 participants representing fixed-wing and rotorcraft operators, rideshare platforms, and lessors—covered subjects including operations, services and support, aircraft performance, urban air traffic management (UATM), cabin design, and passenger journey.

"It was incredibly constructive spending those couple of days with our customers and partners who could collaborate with insights on our UAM solutions based on their experience within their respective fields,” said Eve co-CEO Andre Stein. “All the feedback gathered will contribute to the evolution and maturity of our programs, including the eVTOL, services and support, and UATM software. The result was extraordinary, reinforcing that we are on the right path with our collaborative approach toward the future of urban air mobility.”
