Move to accelerate electric Air Taxi services in the UAE
Crisalion Mobility, a European leader in the development of efficient, safe and sustainable electric mobility solutions, has recently announced a partnership with Dubai-based private aviation operator Air Chateau to support the development of electric air taxi services in the United Arab Emirates.
Air Chateau’s pre-order of ten Integrity eVTOLs, announced today during both companies’ debuts at Farnborough International Airshow 2024, expands Crisalion’s conditional pre-orderbook to 125 aircraft. It also represents the company’s first commercial partnership in both the private aviation market and the Middle East.
In support of the UAE’s strategic mobility plans, Crisalion and Air Chateau will work closely together on a growth plan for electric air taxi services in major cities, including Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Eager to embrace advanced air mobility, the demographics of the region represent fertile ground for the proliferation of eVTOLs.
Promising foundation
The agreement also serves as a promising foundation for potential future joint projects between the two companies in Europe. With the integration of the Integrity aircraft into its services, Air Chateau will be able to offer customers a safe, sustainable, zero emissions regional air mobility alternative.
“This partnership opens not only the door to a strategic region for Crisalion but will also form part of Air Chateau’s approach to providing sustainable air travel services to its customers. We are truly proud to have been chosen as a partner by Air Chateau,” stated Manuel Heredia, General Manager, Crisalion Mobility.
“Air Chateau is excited about the future of AAM, and this collaboration with Crisalion marks a milestone in our journey,” remarked Samir Mohamed, Chairman, Air Chateau.
