Real-World Data Collection to Yield Benefits in Route Management

Eve Air Mobility announced a collaboration with Flexjet to "advance urban air mobility through innovative software simulation", having completed an initial test of their traffic management capabilities.

London's helicopter market, Flexjet's stomping grounds, will one day be a hive of intense AAM activity in the future, making it a priority for local operators to figure out the traffic tangles far in advance. Flexjet provided its helo fleet to perform flights monitored by Eve's Urban ATM team, providing a wealth of data from real-world use cases.

“This collaboration with Flexjet represents a significant step forward in our efforts to advance urban air mobility,” said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve. “We are committed to exploring innovative solutions that will enhance current operations and contribute to the future of urban flights.”

Eli Flint, Flexjet President of Global Helicopter Operations, added: “We were delighted to provide Flexjet’s UK helicopter expertise and to play a key role in forging the UAM ecosystem of tomorrow, helping to inform the movements of the next generation of vertical aircraft. Flexjet is dedicated to advancing the aviation solutions that will meet our customers’ needs over the coming years, and we are excited by the potential of eVTOLs for seamless and sustainable electric short-range flights.”
