Singapore, February 4, 2026 – Eve Air Mobility, a company specializing in the development of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, announced the signing of a firm purchase agreement with AirX, a Japanese provider of innovative air mobility services headquartered in Tokyo.
The contract provides for the purchase of up to 50 eVTOL aircraft, with the first two units scheduled for delivery in 2029. This represents Eve’s second binding order and the company’s first firm agreement in the Asia-Pacific region, reinforcing its strategy to expand advanced air mobility in Japan.
Under the terms of the agreement, AirX will integrate Eve’s eVTOL aircraft into its operations with the goal of offering zero-emission urban and regional transportation solutions, focused on operational efficiency and reduced environmental impact. The partnership also includes the possibility of fleet expansion as demand for advanced air mobility services evolves in the country.
Eve’s eVTOL aircraft were designed to deliver safe, reliable, and environmentally sustainable operations, with a focus on reducing noise and emissions, as well as enhancing the passenger experience through next-generation technologies.
According to Eve, the eVTOLs are expected to be used on tourist routes and “last-mile” missions, with operations planned in major Japanese urban centers, including Tokyo and Osaka. The agreement also strengthens Japan’s positioning as one of the strategic markets for the adoption of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) solutions.
As part of the announcement, Eve Air Mobility reported that it will hold a press conference at 1:00 p.m. (Singapore time) in Function Room 4 during the Singapore Airshow.
