Leasing group LCI may consider offering bundled leases covering new eVTOL aircraft and related infrastructure such as batteries and electric and hydrogen charging stations. Chief commercial officer Nigel Leishman told AIN the company is now exploring the "value proposition" for operators launching advanced air mobility services.

“From LCI’s perspective, we could see a situation where you package the aircraft with the batteries and charging infrastructure to provide a turnkey solution to operators,” he said.
