Eve Air Mobility, Revo, and its parent company Omni Helicopters International Group (OHI) have announced a strategic partnership aimed at establishing an Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ecosystem in Brazil. The collaboration recently achieved a significant milestone with the completion of an urban air traffic simulation in São Paulo.
The simulation took place at Revo's operations control centre and employed Revo’s helicopters alongside Eve’s Urban Air Traffic Management software. This exercise, conducted during the week of 21 October, focused on simulating and managing eVTOL operations in urban settings, testing various scenarios such as delays, airspace restrictions, and in-flight deviations.
Both Eve and Revo are working to promote collaboration among key AAM stakeholders to establish effective eVTOL operational practices, air traffic management protocols, and ground handling procedures. São Paulo, known for its extensive helicopter operations, presents a valuable opportunity for eVTOLs to transform urban transportation in a city marked by significant traffic congestion.
"This simulation reinforces Eve's efforts to introduce eVTOL flights to metropolitan areas and provide communities with an additional mode of transportation that is safe, sustainable, and efficient," said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve. "We're delighted to partner with Revo for this initiative to foster the urban air mobility market in Latin America's largest city, aiming to conduct a real-world simulation to set the stage for urban flights in Sao Paulo in a climate-conscious manner."
"We see ourselves as a provider of aerial mobility solutions, with innovation in our DNA. As the leader in Latin America in offshore transportation, we aim to be pioneers in adopting new technologies and helicopter models,” said Jeremy Akel, CEO of OHI. “Recently, we contributed to aviation history in Brazil with the first and longest uncrewed civil flight to an offshore platform, co-existing in airspace with other aircraft. This demonstrates that we have the experience and vision to help shape the future of air mobility.”
“eVTOLs are the future of air mobility. They will make flights more sustainable and easily available. To make this a reality, we must develop the ecosystem and required infrastructure,” said João Welsh, CEO of Revo. “We took the first step just over a year ago, starting an accelerated learning process with helicopters to lead this transition.”
“Early collaboration between industry leaders, regulators, urban planners, infrastructure developers, and local communities will help ensure that key challenges are addressed holistically, and we will continue to develop the ecosystem over the coming months. We are committed to creating a future where urban flights will be safe, more democratic and carbon-neutral,” he added.
The recent simulation and ongoing development of the AAM ecosystem in São Paulo complement Revo's pre-order of up to 50 of Eve's eVTOLs, alongside access to Eve's comprehensive service portfolio for eVTOLs.
