Eve Air Mobility, a subsidiary of Embraer, has announced a landmark sale of 50 electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOLs) to São Paulo-based Revo, in a deal valued at $250 million. .5 nations team up to take air taxis to new heights: What it means.The contract was officially signed during the 2025 Paris Air Show, the world’s largest aviation event, and marks the first agreement of its kind for Eve anywhere in the world.Revo, part of the multinational Omni Helicopters International (OHI), will become the first operator of Eve’s eVTOLs in São Paulo, a city already renowned for its aerial mobility infrastructure. The agreement further solidifies Revo’s position at the forefront of innovation in urban air mobility..UAE's first electric air taxi trial flight likely this year.“Two years ago, Revo pioneered helicopter flights with first-class service and bookings made in minutes — whether for individual seats, multiple passengers, or full aircraft capacity — something unprecedented in this market. Now, we are beginning a new chapter,” said João Welsh, CEO of Revo. “And the opportunity ahead of us is enormous, as major cities around the world — like São Paulo here in Brazil — are in desperate need of mobility solutions.”Largest chopper fleetSão Paulo is home to the world’s largest helicopter fleet, with more than 410 registered aircraft and 260 helipads, supporting about 2,200 takeoffs and landings daily. Revo currently operates a door-to-door air mobility solution that blends scheduled helicopter flights with car services and luggage handling, serving key routes in the city and surrounding regions, including popular countryside and coastal destinations..Air taxis to shuttle fans during 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.One of its busiest routes connects Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima, the city’s financial hub, to Guarulhos International Airport — a trip that typically takes up to 3 hours by car but just 10 minutes by air.Since its launch in 2024, Revo has been laying the groundwork for eVTOL integration, including running successful simulations of urban air traffic management using Eve’s “Vector” software. The agreement also gives Revo access to Eve’s TechCare, a suite of operational support tools designed to optimise performance and maintenance for eVTOL fleets.Partnership“We have built a solid partnership with Eve Air Mobility since Revo's inception. After conducting joint tests and actively contributing to the development of aircraft that will shape the industry's future, we are once again making history,” said Jeremy Akel, CEO of OHI. “It is a great honour to be the first to operate eVTOLs in São Paulo, leading a new chapter in urban air mobility. With first-class, safe, and sustainable service, we continue advancing our mission to redefine the flying experience and intelligently connect cities.”Eve is currently conducting ground tests of its electric pusher motor in Brazil, a key component of the four-passenger lift-and-cruise eVTOL aircraft. These tests will lead into flight trials, with certification and entry into service targetted by the end of 2026. The first deliveries to Revo are expected in late 2027.Commerial rolloutEve says it now holds sales agreements for nearly 3,000 eVTOLs with 30 operators across 12 countries, underscoring growing global interest in sustainable urban flight.“This agreement with Revo and OHI represents a critical milestone for Eve, demonstrating growing market confidence in our technology and operational model,” said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve. “As we move from concept to execution, we are not only advancing our commercial plan but also helping to build a robust and sustainable urban air mobility ecosystem, setting a new global standard for eVTOL adoption.”
