Groupe ADP and Lilium are set to collaborate on infrastructures for the Lilium Jet in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Groupe ADP, which operates and develops 23 airports around the globe with its two major partners TAV Airports and GMR Airports, will work with Lilium to make its vertiports accessible to Lilium’s customers.

Groupe ADP strongly believes in the future of AAM and gathered the key stakeholders of the ecosystem to make it happen. Groupe ADP is delivering the first vertiport network in Europe, as an integral part of the Pioneers 2025 innovation roadmap, for eVTOL aircraft like the Lilium Jet on its airports’ premises and with a strong foothold in Paris.

Groupe ADP is developing in particular comprehensive vertiports at two prominent airports in the Paris region – Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Le Bourget (home of The Paris Airshow) – as well as a temporary site in the heart of Paris in 2024. Groupe ADP’s vertiports will significantly bolster the Lilium network in France and establish Paris as an important regional hub for Lilium Jet operators. In addition to their flagship locations in France, Groupe ADP operate an extensive network of international airports around the world including key sites in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and India. These sites will be crucial for operators of the Lilium Jet as they work to bring regional electric aviation to passengers starting in 2026.

Sebastien Borel, CCO of Lilium, said; “It is becoming increasingly clear that some of the very first eVTOL flights will happen in France and this partnership brings that milestone closer into view.”

He continued; “Groupe ADP has an impressive portfolio of airports, both in France and around the world in markets that will be key to Lilium’s commercial operations.”

Edward Arkwright, Deputy CEO of Groupe ADP, said; “As a pioneer in developing infrastructure for advanced air mobility and a global airports operator, we are thrilled to officialize the work we have been conducting with Lilium to ensure the development of new services by eVTOL in the Paris region and worldwide.”
