Vertical Aerospace and Sigma Air Mobility, an advanced air mobility operator and member of the Luxaviation Group, today announced they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which includes the intended purchase of Vertical’s Valo eVTOL aircraft and supports the path from aircraft acquisition and operational testing through to the launch of commercial electric air mobility services.
“The MoU also establishes a framework for collaboration on aircraft operations, commercial readiness and customer requirements, further expanding Vertical’s growing ecosystem of commercial operators and strategic partners preparing for the introduction of electric aviation,” said Vertical in a press release.
Sigma Air Mobility is supported by Luxaviation Group, one of the world’s largest private aviation operators with 50+ years of experience. Headquartered in Luxembourg, Luxaviation manages a global fleet of more than 200 business aircraft and, through ExecuJet, operates fixed base operator (FBO) networks with more than 100 locations worldwide.
Vertical has approximately 1,500 pre-orders for Valo from customers across four continents, including American Airlines, Avolon, Bristow, GOL and Japan Airlines.
