SkyDrive, a leading Japanese eVTOL aircraft manufacturer, and Bravo Air, a private air charter service operator based in the US, have signed a letter of intent for the purchase of up to five SD-05 aircraft.
The agreement also includes the formation of a partnership to conduct joint studies in the development of use cases originating from Augusta Regional Airport to scale Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) within the region including the adaption of SkyDrive’s business model for air taxi services.
The collaboration builds off an existing relationship with key stakeholders in South Carolina and the progress made to make its Air Taxi Services available to potential customers within the region.
SkyDrive aims to establish a thriving eVTOL air taxi network that connects Augusta Regional Airport to various destinations across the region, providing a seamless last-mile mobility experience for commuters and travellers alike.
Dann Standard, VP Operations of Bravo Air, said: “Bravo Air is thrilled to be working with SkyDrive on revolutionising AAM in the United States. Bravo Air was honoured to have recently visited SkyDrive in Japan and had the opportunity to meet the teams working diligently to bring AAM development into a reality.
“We are excited to be a part of a collaborative effort to bring more environmentally conscious air travel options to the Augusta area and beyond. “
“We are pleased to welcome SkyDrive to the Augusta Regional Airport and the Central Savannah River Area,” said Mayor Garnett Johnson.
“We see our vision for a greener future coming to fruition with companies starting to adopt these new electric aircraft and embracing these new eco-friendly technologies.”
