Eve Air Mobility, Aerosolutions, and Bluenest by Globalvia Sign Letter of Intent for up to 50 eVTOLs and TechCare Services
Rhea-AI Summary
Eve Air Mobility (NYSE: EVEX) has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Aerosolutions and Bluenest by Globalvia for the sale of up to 50 electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and access to Eve's TechCare services. The partnership aims to develop an Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ecosystem in Costa Rica, initially focusing on the Pacific region in northwest Costa Rica.
The collaboration will establish routes ranging from 20 to 50 kilometers, connecting airports to premium resorts and eco-destinations. The initiative targets Costa Rica's tourism sector, which attracts over three million foreign visitors annually, addressing challenges with congested road networks and lengthy travel times.
Eve's eVTOL aircraft features a lift+cruise configuration with eight dedicated propellers for vertical flight and fixed wings for cruise flight. The aircraft includes an electric pusher powered by dual electric motors for propulsion redundancy. Bluenest will develop vertiport infrastructure to enable operations, while Aerosolutions will lead the operational deployment of the eVTOLs.
