Eve Holding has entered into a letter of intent (LOI) with Halo Aviation (Halo), a provider of bespoke private Urban Air Mobility (UAM) travel services, to collaborate in the development and launch of Eve's Urban Air Traffic Management (UATM) software solution.
As part of the agreement, Halo will acquire the software from Eve with the objective of using the software to maximise its UAM operations. It is the first LOI for Eve's state-of-the-art UATM solution, which will unlock the value and network performance of the UAM market to enable the safe scalability of the industry. The companies also intend to develop an operational model to be deployed in specific missions and regions in the United States and the United Kingdom where Halo operates.
In June of last year, the companies announced the commencement of their partnership focused on developing UAM products and services, as well as Halo's non-binding commitment to order up to 200 of Eve's eVTOLs (electric vertical take-off and landing) vehicle. Eve's UATM software is part of an agnostic portfolio of solutions that will enable the integration of all airspace users in the urban environment, which is critical to supporting the safety, efficiency, and improvement of the entire UAM ecosystem, including fleet and vertiport operators. This new collaboration reinforces Eve's and Halo's commitment to safely integrating and scaling global UAM operations. Eve expects to start its eVTOL deliveries in 2026.
