The Projects Between Embraer and Kenya Airways Will Establish a Foundation of Concepts and Procedures for the Operation of Electric Aircraft for Vertical Takeoff and Landing

This morning, Eve, a company of Embraer, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Kenya Airways through its wholly owned subsidiary Fahari Aviation. This collaboration aims to develop new operational projects for widespread accessibility of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) in support of Fahari Aviation’s key markets.

The Project Between Embraer and Kenya Airways

Fahari Aviation, the division focused on Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) of the African airline Kenya Airways, promotes the safe use of UAS in the region and will be supported by Eve in establishing its UAM network, contributing to the development of requirements for projects and operational environment necessary for Urban Air Traffic Management (UATM).

The partnership between Kenya Airways and Embraer will develop a robust strategy to provide Fahari Aviation passengers with a sustainable, accessible, and economical transportation option. It is estimated that using the EVA from the airport to downtown could cut conventional trips by up to 90%, transforming a one-and-a-half-hour trip into a 6-minute flight.

Eve’s fully electric vehicle, a company of Embraer, has been designed to be accessible to all, with low noise and zero carbon emissions. Completely suited to the UAM concept, the vehicle will bring all traditional aviation travelers to their destination efficiently and comfortably.

Andre Stein, President & CEO of Eve (a company of Embraer), says, “We are excited to partner with Kenya Airways to provide new forms of air mobility for people and cargo throughout the region. Creating disruptive and widely accessible Urban Air Mobility solutions will help democratize mobility, making it more affordable and providing more options for communities. This partnership will promote long-term mobility strategies across the country and region. With the support of our aircraft and aerospace services and Kenya Airways’ innovative approach to air mobility, we are excited to open this region to more sustainable and user-friendly air access for all.”

Embraer is forming several partnerships for its flying cars. Last week, the company contracted for 200 flying vehicles, and this week will add 50 more. It also stated that it has a new partnership finalized with Uber for future projects.

In the partnership of Eve Urban Air Mobility, a subsidiary of Embraer, and Helisul Aviation, a company that works with helicopters, there are 50 electric vertical takeoff and landing cars, known as eVTOLs, scheduled for delivery in 2026. Last week, the company working with flying cars, Embraer, announced it had received an order from Halo for about 200 units of the eVTOL also for 2026. According to Embraer, Halo’s order is the largest order for flying cars in the urban air mobility sector.

The agreement with Halo also stipulated that the company would work alongside Embraer to create a new flying vehicle operation in the United States and the United Kingdom. Returning to the agreement with Helisul, the companies will initially work with helicopters to analyze parameters that could be utilized in the future by the flying cars. The partnership among the companies also promises to develop services and products that enable the operations of the vehicles, such as air traffic management solutions.
