Eviation receives order from UrbanLink for 10 aircraft

UrbanLink Air Mobility has signed a letter of intent (LoI) with Eviation for 10 Alice commuter aircraft, with the option to acquire an additional 10 planes.

Florida-based UrbanLink is building a fleet of all-electric aircraft, marine craft and ground vehicles to provide end-to-end emissions free transportation. Operating out of its hub cities of Miami, Los Angeles and San Juan, Puerto Rico, UrbanLink will deploy Alice as an “urban mobility” solution.

“Our order for Eviation Alice aircraft completes the third leg of our all-electric operating plan, giving us the ability to offer 9-seat, zero-emission flights across our network,” said Ed Wegel, UrbanLink founder and chairman. “Together with our regional eVTOL aircraft and electric sea vessels, Alice enables us to provide seamless, sustainable travel options across the regions we serve.”

Orders now total more than $5bn for Alice’s 9-seat commuter and cargo versions.

Andre Stein, CEO of Eviation, said: “Eviation and UrbanLink share a dream of making electric air travel a fact of everyday life. As Alice continues on its path to Entry into Service, partnerships such as this will ensure a future of flight that empowers travelers with convenient, accessible, and affordable air travel that is friendly to the planet.”
