Targeted To Develop The UAM Ecosystem In Asia-Pacific Markets

Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions has partnered with Ascent for development of the Urban Air Mobility ecosystem in Asia-Pacific markets. The partnership could advance the entry of Eve’s eVTOL aircraft into Ascent’s growing technology platform that allows users to book charter flights as well as flights by the seat and orchestrate UAM operations seamlessly.

Ascent currently includes a data base of air operator partners that are dedicated to UAM operations, throughout Thailand and the Philippines, and is set to expand its presence in the region. Additionally, the parties expect that Eve´s Urban Air Traffic Management (UATM) services will be fully integrated into Ascent technology to ensure secure and scalable operations. 

“This partnership with Eve is a leap forward for Ascent toward achieving our ambition to democratize sustainable urban air mobility. Joining forces with Eve, and by extension counting with the active support from the Embraer Group, will enable us to accelerate our development for a larger impact, secure the entry of market-fit all-electric aircraft, and  provide safe and secure operations at scale thanks to urban air traffic management integration,” said Lionel Sinai-Sinelnikoff, Founder & CEO of Ascent.

“We are pleased to announce this partnership with Ascent as it aligns with our strategy to develop the urban air mobility ecosystem through collaborative efforts and to be a truly global player. Armed with Ascent’s data and platform, we will be well positioned to enter into the Asia Pacific market. On our end, we are committed to supporting Ascent’s growth and its ambition to democratize air mobility,” said Andre Stein, President & CEO of Eve Urban Air Mobility."

Backed by Embraer, Eve is positioning itself as an ecosystem partner by offering a suite of products and services. Eve’s human-centered, eVTOL design continues to reach milestones, including the first flight of the engineering simulator in July 2020 and proof of concept in October 2020.
