Volocopter has signed a long-term agreement with Jet Systems Hélicoptères Services to introduce electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft services in France.
As part of the agreement, Volocopter will provide two VoloCity eVTOL aircraft following certification by the European Union Aviation Safety Authority (EASA). The company will also offer expertise in product support, maintenance, pilot training, and VoloIQ, a system for fleet management and operations. Jet Systems will manage airline services, including personnel and coordination with cities and infrastructure partners for operations.
The services will initially begin in Paris, where eVTOL flight routes and infrastructure are already approved by French and European authorities. The partnership builds on Volocopter's work with Groupe ADP and the Direction Générale de l’Aviation Civile (DGAC) to ensure safety in both the air and on the ground. The service will later extend to the southwest and southeast regions of France, leveraging Jet Systems' existing helicopter routes, which serve up to 15,000 passengers annually.
Michel Moulin, CEO of Jet Systems Hélicoptères Services, said: “We are delighted to partner with Volocopter to offer safe, responsible, and environmentally friendly mobility solutions while minimizing the impact on local communities in Paris. Thanks to Volocopter's expertise and its rigorously certified aircraft, users will be able to experience Paris from a new perspective and travel more efficiently. The JSHS teams have joined forces with Volocopter to provide our customers with an innovative service tailored to their needs, driven by a shared goal: customer satisfaction and environmental preservation.”
Andreas Fehring, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Volocopter added: “We are excited to partner with Jet Systems and secure eVTOL operations in Paris, where we have invested our efforts for many years. With 75% of our EASA audits completed, Volocopter is close to and committed to achieving VoloCity’s EASA certification as soon as possible to meet our customers’ expectations and cities’ commitments to bring sustainable mobilities into service.”
