Hybrid eVTOL manufacturer PLANA has entered into a business partnership with MOVIATION, a company offering eVTOL bookings through its VONAER app, linking with ground transportation services, and running lounges.

The main goal of the partnership is to generate new business opportunities and boost the growth of the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ecosystem.

The two companies will also share information, discuss routes, cabin configurations, and customer experience to optimize end-customer satisfaction.

The business partnership ceremony took place at PLANA’s headquarters in Giheung-gu, Yongin, with the attendance of Braden J. Kim, CEO of PLANA, and Shin Min, CEO of MOVIATION.

“We are excited to improve the satisfaction of our future passengers based on the infrastructure and data accumulated by MOVIATION,” said Braden J. Kim, CEO of PLANA. “We hope that this MoU will help us expand the domestic AAM market.”

“This partnership is very meaningful to us as two Korean startups have formed a cooperative relationship in the AAM market, which is dominated by various large companies,” said Shin Min, CEO of MOVIATION. “We hope it will send a message to all those involved in the industry to cooperate.”
