Insights
Eve secured LOI for 50 eVTOLs with Aerosolutions in Costa Rica, strengthening its market position and ecosystem development strategy.
Eve Air Mobility's latest Letter of Intent (LOI) with Aerosolutions and Bluenest by Globalvia represents a significant commercial milestone in the company's eVTOL market strategy. The agreement for up to 50 aircraft plus TechCare services expands Eve's conditional order book while establishing their presence in the promising Costa Rican tourism market.
This deal is particularly strategic as it encompasses the entire AAM value chain - from aircraft manufacturing to operations and infrastructure. By partnering with Bluenest (vertiport developer) and Aerosolutions (future operator), Eve is executing on its ecosystem development approach rather than simply focusing on vehicle sales.
The Costa Rican market offers compelling route economics with 20-50 kilometer connections between airports and premium tourist destinations. With over three million annual visitors and congested road infrastructure, the region presents ideal conditions for eVTOL services to demonstrate value through time savings and improved connectivity.
Eve's aircraft configuration - utilizing a lift+cruise design with eight dedicated vertical lift propellers and fixed wings for cruise flight - provides operational versatility while maintaining safety through redundant systems. The company continues prototype testing, validating their technical approach ahead of certification efforts.
While LOIs represent preliminary agreements rather than firm orders with deposits, this partnership demonstrates continued market validation for Eve's business model and aircraft design approach. The comprehensive nature of the agreement, including infrastructure development and operational planning workshops, signals serious intent from all parties to advance beyond the preliminary agreement stage.
