Lilium cited France’s aerospace prowess, electric mobility expertise, skilled labor force, and supportive government policies as key factors influencing its choice.

This strategic collaboration will see UrbanLink purchasing 20 Lilium Jets, marking a significant commitment to integrating eVTOL aircraft into its fleet operations.

This development follows the arrival of the first aircraft fuselage at Lilium’s final assembly line in Germany, marking a pivotal transition from design to industrialization for the company.

The agreement establishes EMCJET as Lilium's exclusive dealer in Texas for private sales, effective through the end of 2030.

This follows the certification basis issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for the Lilium Jet in 2020.

Initially, the partnership will focus on Italy and the French Riviera, with UrbanV spearheading operations in these regions and potential expansion into additional markets in the future.
