Saudi Arabian low-cost carrier flynas and Eve Air Mobility signed an MoU to explore the future of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The partners will explore the possibility of starting eVTOL operations in Riyadh and Jeddah in 2026.
“We are pleased to explore the sustainable solutions with Eve Air Mobility as a pioneering company in this field, in line with flynas’ strategy to adopt initiatives with sustainable impact on the environment, society, and economy in parallel with the national goals to neutralize greenhouse gas emissions by 2060,” said Bander Almohanna, CEO and Managing Director of flynas.
The agreement will contribute to Saudi Arabia’s aviation industry by building and supporting the future local ecosystem for electric flights, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Wednesday. The partnership will also contribute to Vision 2030’s sustainability goals and ambitious targets in the aviation sector.
“This partnership represents not only a milestone in our shared vision for sustainable air travel but also a commitment to shaping a more efficient, eco-friendly and accessible transportation landscape,” said CEO of Eve Johann Bordais.
The introduction of eVTOL flights to Saudi Arabia will provide travellers with another option for urban transportation while affirming the companies’ commitment to shaping the future of electric aviation.
