Singapore, 4 February 2026 — Eve Air Mobility has signed a second binding order agreement with Tokyo-based urban air mobility operator AirX for the purchase of up to 50 electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.

 

The agreement includes an initial order for two aircraft, with options for up to 48 additional units. The first aircraft deliveries are expected in 2029 and are intended to support the development of sustainable urban air mobility services in Japan.

 

Supporting Urban Air Mobility Development in Japan

Under the agreement, AirX will integrate Eve’s eVTOL aircraft into its operations as part of its strategy to introduce zero-emission transportation solutions for urban and regional travel. The aircraft are expected to support sightseeing routes and last-mile transport missions in cities including Tokyo and Osaka.

The aircraft form part of Eve’s broader approach to supporting the development of the Urban Air Mobility ecosystem through aircraft development, services and air traffic management solutions.
