UNITED AIRLINES AND EVE AIR MOBILITY COLLABORATE

Eve Air Mobility (Eve) and United Airlines plan to bring Urban Air Mobility to San Francisco by launching electric commuter flights throughout the Bay Area.

Both companies will be working with local and state officials, infrastructure, energy, and technology providers to ensure the appropriate infrastructure is in place to introduce eVTOL aircraft flights. “Our shared goal is to provide residents and visitors to the San Francisco Bay area with efficient and cost-competitive transportation in one of the most densely populated urban areas in the U.S.,” said Andre Stein, co-CEO of Eve Air Mobility. “The Bay Area is perfect for eVTOL flights given its size, traffic, focus on sustainability, innovation, and commitment to adding other options for mobility.”

Eve’s eVTOL will offer United’s customers a quick, economical, and lower-carbon way to get to its hub airports and commute in dense urban environments, as compared with conventional air taxis and other forms of traditional public transportation.

“Urban Air Mobility has the potential to revolutionize how United customers work, live, and travel,” concludes Michael Leskinen, President of United Airlines Ventures. “Eve’s proposed route is a critical first step towards making this all-electric and quiet commute a reality for Bay Area residents.”
