(17 Mar 2022, 12:27 +07)  Global Crossing Airlines has signed a Letter of Intent with Eve UAM to order up to 200 electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL).

This potential sale increases Eve’s current order backlog to 1,785 eVTOLs. The company says it expects to start deliveries in 2026.

GlobalX’s expertise as a flag airline will contribute not only to the formulation of the infrastructure needed to permit eVTOL flights over Miami, but also the deployment of Eve’s aircraft throughout its network.
