Washington D.C. based-Future Flight Global plans to use Eve’s aircraft to build an electric fleet for fast, city-to-city transportation. The company says it will focus on Brazil first, then expand to other busy markets.
"This collaboration with Future Flight Global is a significant step forward for Urban Air Mobility in the Americas. By leveraging Eve’s eVTOL technology and robust certification process, Future Flight Global gains a powerful platform to deliver efficient, sustainable air travel in high-demand markets such as Brazil and the United States", said Megha Bhatia, Chief Commercial Officer at Eve Air Mobility. “We’re excited to be their strategic partner in this endeavor, laying the groundwork for substantial future orders as they expand their fleet."
Eve’s eVTOL aircraft are designed to fly in crowded urban areas, helping cut travel time and reduce congestion. The company is working toward certification from aviation authorities to begin commercial use.

"Eve’s aircraft—rooted in Embraer’s 55-year legacy of designing, certifying, and supporting commercial and business aircraft—checks every box: strong performance parameters, passenger-first ergonomics, clear certification pathway, and scalable production system. We look forward to ANAC certification and deploying these aircraft in Brazil and additional high-demand markets worldwide in the near future."
This new deal adds to Eve’s growing list of partnerships with airlines and transportation companies around the world. It also follows the release of Eve’s Global Market Outlook, which predicts growing demand for urban air mobility over the next 20 years.
