Collaborate to develop advanced air mobility infrastructure
Ubifly Technologies Private Limited (The ePlane Company) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Noida International Airport.
Moving beyond just physical infrastructure, the agreement establishes a comprehensive framework to co-develop the regulatory Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Vertiport Management Systems, and operational ecosystem specifically required to deploy ePlane’s flagship e200X aircraft.
This collaboration paves the way for e200X-powered airport-to-airport transit, intra-city commutes, and emergency air ambulance services across the region.
This infrastructure partnership complements key engineering progress, following the recent public unveiling of the full-scale e200X PT-01 prototype. With ground testing currently underway, the MoU ensures that the physical development of the aircraft is met with parallel advancements in ground operations and airspace integration.
Infrastructure and Regulatory Collaboration
To facilitate these operations, YIAPL will allocate space within the airport premises for proof-of-concept trials, vertiports, and charging stations, while aligning its airport Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to accommodate eVTOL services.
Simultaneously, ePlane Company will focus on securing necessary clearances from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), while executing the prototyping and flight testing of the e200X aircraft.
Parallel development
“Deploying electric air taxis requires more than just building the aircraft; it demands the parallel development of ground infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and operational procedures. This MoU with Noida International Airport allows us to systematically validate our operational models using drone trials before transitioning to piloted e200X flights,” explained Dr. Satyanarayanan Chakravarthy, Founder and Director of Ubifly Technologies (The ePlane Company).
“We are pleased to collaborate with the ePlane Company on developing the ground infrastructure and operational SOPs required to deliver safe, zero-emission air transit and vital emergency services to Delhi-NCR,” added Daniel Bircher, Chairman, Noida International Airport.
