Eve Urban Air Mobility and Falcon Aviation Services have signed a Letter of Intent to deliver up to 35 electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
The deliveries are expected to begin in 2026, enabling the first eVTOL tourist flights to operate from the Atlantis, The Palm hotel in Dubai.
Captain Ramandeep Oberoi, Chief Operating Officer of Falcon, said:We are ecstatic to partner with Eve and be the first operator of eVTOL in Dubai & the MENA region. The launch of this concept fully aligns with the Smart Dubai vision and will contribute to positioning Dubai as a global leader in sustainable Urban Air Mobility transportation. Falcon is actively engaged in Urban Air Mobility emergence and committed to delivering an effective and sustainable new urban transportation mode and providing the community with better and faster solutions. We are particularly proud to take a new step in the UAE, in a project that will be revolutionary for sustainable urban mobility.
Under the new partnership, Eve and Falcon will work together with the local stakeholders and authorities to support the development of urban air mobility in the United Arab Emirates.
By collaborating with Falcon, a leading aviation service operator in the Middle East and Africa, Eve is continuing to build upon its commitment to safely develop the global urban air mobility industry, adding to Eve’s existing partnerships with Halo in the US and UK and with Nautilus in Australia.
Andre Stein, co-CEO of Eve said:We are thrilled about partnering with Falcon and having the immense opportunity to enable the future urban mobility in the United Arab Emirates and launch eVTOL flights in Dubai. This is a massive challenge for both companies, which will help to position Dubai as a leader in the urban air mobility market. Eve’s global experience, which spans different regions across the globe, will surely benefit the achievement of this project.
