As an industry leader, EVE is crafting a comprehensive ecosystem of cutting-edge products and solutions, where state-of-the-art eVTOLs are seamlessly integrated with safe operations and optimized agnostic systems, including modern air traffic management. I am proud to become a part of the talented team at EVE, working collaboratively to advance EVE’s holistic strategy that supports our extensive global customer base that fosters enduring growth.”
Eve boasts the industry’s largest backlog with letters of intent for 2,900 eVTOL aircraft, representing a potential $14.5 billion in revenue across 30 customers in 13 countries. Beyond aircraft, the company secured agreements with 14 service and operations customers in 9 countries and pre-deals for its urban air traffic management solution, Vector, with 17 customers across nine countries.
Eve’s ongoing expansion of its diverse portfolio of agnostic services and operational solutions has recently culminated in a significant milestone.

The company is presently advancing into the next stage of development, which involves a series of comprehensive testing campaigns designed to evaluate every aspect of the aircraft’s operation and performance, from flight capabilities to safety features.
