The Bao’an District of Shenzhen municipality and Lilium, developer of the all-electric vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”) jet, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the opening of a regional Lilium headquarters in Bao’an District as a first step in a partnership to establish a safe and sustainable eVTOL service in China with the Lilium Jet. The company reports the collaboration will initially focus on the Guangdong–Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, with a population of over 85 million people, with plans to grow across China and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
Lilium says the goal of the regional headquarters is to represent the company in China and the Asia-Pacific region and to facilitate Lilium Jet sales, services, and support in the area. “The Bao’an District’s extensive regional knowledge will benefit Lilium as the two parties build the foundation for premium eVTOL operations in the Greater Bay Area, including defining launch routes, use cases, and other logistics related to the Lilium Jet’s entry into service” said a company spokesperson.
