Eve Air Mobility has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Shearwater Global Capital (“Shearwater”), the aviation finance company of Bay Point. Shearwater is a specialist aviation lender providing asset-based financing to borrowers globally, for up to 16 Eve 100 eVTOLs the company revealed at it’s pre-Farnborough Air Show briefing.
