Global Crossing Airlines has signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) with Eve Air Mobility for an order of up to 200 eVTOL aircraft and deliveries are expected to start in 2026.

The agreement also enables a partnership that intends to explore the development of an ecosystem to scale Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and reinforces the Concept of Operations (CONOPS) in Miami-Dade.

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

Andre Stein, co-CEO of Eve, said: “We are delighted with this partnership with GlobalX, which will maximize our efforts to structure UAM operations. Their experience as an airline will contribute to the expansion of Eve’s eVTOL deployment in North America. The partnership also ensures both companies’ commitment to delivering sustainable UAM and providing the community with better and faster solutions.”

Ed Wegel, Chair and CEO of GlobalX, commented: “We are honored to be working with Eve Air Mobility and believe their affiliation with Embraer ensures Eve will be the best positioned eVTOL OEM. These eVTOLs will enable us to expand our market throughout south Florida, bringing our customers to their flights at MIA and FLL, as well as local flying within Key West and all of the Keys, Naples, and Palm Beach. This will help extend and expand our brand.”

According to Eve, the completion of the transactions contemplated by the LoI is subject to the execution of definitive agreements and receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
