Eve Air Mobility, an eVTOL developer, has signed a second binding order with AirX, a Japanese provider of air mobility services, which includes a purchase agreement for up to 50 aircraft.
The agreement outlines that AirX will use Eve’s eVTOLs to offer urban and regional air travel in Japan, with a focus on Tokyo and Osaka, and delivery dates hoped for in 2029.
“Our first agreement in Asia-Pacific, achieved in partnership with AirX in Japan, is more than a milestone; it launches a new era that will redefine urban mobility,” said Johann Bordais, chief executive officer at Eve Air Mobility. “Asia-Pacific is poised to help lead the global transformation toward sustainable air transportation, and together we are pioneering solutions that will redefine how cities connect, move, and thrive. This partnership is a bold step toward a cleaner, smarter future for generations to come.”
“We are excited to partner with Eve Air Mobility to bring next-generation air transportation to Japan,” commented Kiwamu Tezuka, founder and chief executive officer at AirX. “This collaboration reinforces our commitment to sustainability and innovation, and positions AirX at the forefront of the evolving air mobility market.”
Also announced at the Singapore Airshow, Embraer-CAE Training Services, a joint venture providing aviation training, has purchased a full-flight simulator (FFS) specifically for training Eve Air Mobility pilots.
The CAE 3000 series FFS is also expected to contribute to the certification process for Eve’s aircraft, featuring high-fidelity motion cueing, a precision flight deck replica, and the next-generation CAE Prodigy Visual System powered by Unreal Engine.
“As development at Eve Air Mobility progresses, high‑fidelity simulation is key to training the first wave of pilots and ensuring a safe entry into service of this new aircraft,” added Alexandre Prévost, President, Civil Aviation at CAE and ECTS Board Member. “CAE and ECTS are proud to support Eve in developing a scalable, certifiable training ecosystem. This simulator sets a new benchmark for advanced air mobility training infrastructure and underscores our shared commitment to safe, seamless urban air transportation.”
