Ambitious Air Mobility Group NL Holding N.V. (AAMG) and Zuri.com SE (Zuri) have signed binding investment terms to advance the development and deployment of Zuri’s hybrid-electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft platform.
This platform is intended for applications across passenger, cargo, and defence sectors, with the investment also supporting unmanned and optionally piloted variants designed specifically for cargo and defence operations.
The agreement establishes a framework for collaboration across three main areas. Firstly, AAMG joins Zuri as a long-term industrial and financial partner, supporting the hybrid-electric aircraft program and business growth. Secondly, AAMG will place forward orders for unmanned and optionally piloted aircraft intended for logistics, cargo, and defence operations. Finally, the two companies will pursue joint initiatives focused on accelerating certification readiness and preparing for commercial production and operational deployment of the VTOL aircraft.
Michal Illich, CEO of Zuri.com SE, commented on the agreement, stating, “AAMG brings not only investment but also experience and an international network that strengthens our ability to accelerate certification and production toward operational deployment. This partnership reinforces Zuri’s mission to deliver sustainable hybrid-electric aviation across defence and civilian markets.”
Robert Kamp, CEO & Senior Partner at AAMG, added, “This partnership marks a clear step toward delivering transformative long-range regional capabilities through hybrid-electric aviation. Zuri’s manned and unmanned platforms provide class-leading performance for both cargo and civilian VTOL operations. They have a compelling vision that maximises the impact of our vertiport network and regional air mobility.”
