Avincis and Airbus have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to partner on the development of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM).

The companies will collaborate to explore opportunities for operating eVTOL aircraft throughout Europe.

Through the agreement, Airbus and Avincis will focus on defining the concept of operations for eVTOLs in Europe and beyond. Both parties will jointly work to define mission profiles for eVTOL operations in Europe and other target regions. This partnership agreement is another step towards the creation of an AAM ecosystem and is an expansion of Airbus’ long-standing relationship with Avincis.

John Boag, CEO, Avincis, said; “Our partnership with Airbus is an important milestone for Avincis, as we look to the future of emergency air services and the platforms that will support our missions for generations to come. eVTOLs will play an important role in our long-term fleet strategy as these technologies continue to evolve to give us further reach and capability in the field.

“Airbus is at the cutting-edge of this evolution, and we are excited to be working with their team in understanding how we can harness the latest technology to bring more sustainable solutions to emergency services globally.”

Balkiz Sarihan, Head of Urban Air Mobility at Airbus, added; “We’re pleased to partner with Avincis. Their established operational network, which is essential to enabling key missions such as emergency medical services, search and rescue, and fire-fighting, will be a valuable tool to collectively explore the mission potential of CityAirbus NextGen.

Through this collaboration we will explore how eVTOLs can contribute to missions that save lives and protect communities, a shared goal among our two companies.”

The Avincis global fleet currently includes 60 Airbus aircraft, which are critical to delivering safe, reliable, and consistent operations from its bases across Europe, Africa and South America.

Avincis and Airbus are said to have enjoyed a longstanding and successful cooperation, developing a solid and trusting relationship that will form the foundation of this new eVTOL collaboration.
