Lilium N.V., developer of the first all-electric vertical\ntake-off and landing (\u201ceVTOL\u201d) jet, has signed an agreement with Helity Copter\nAirlines to develop an eVTOL network in Andalusia. Under the agreement, Helity\nintends to initially purchase five Lilium Jets to provide premium and business\ncharter flights to its customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Helity offers helicopter shuttle flights between Ceuta,\nAlgeciras, and M\u00c3\u00a1laga as well as private charter flights in southern Spain.\nWith approximately 300,000 passengers transported to date between Ceuta and the\nSpanish peninsula, Helity provides a critical transportation service to its\ncustomers and the region. The Lilium Jet, with its premium cabin, expected\nphysical range of 250 km, and anticipated performance capabilities in various\nweather conditions, is well suited to meet the transportation needs of the\nregion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Antonio Barranco, CEO and owner of Helity said: \u201cWith its\nzero operating emission and low noise profile, the Lilium Jet is a great\naddition to our existing helicopter fleet. Thanks to the large and spacious\ncabin, the aircraft is very well-suited to address the premium and business\ntraffic in the region. I have no doubt that in the medium-term it will\nrevolutionize the concept of short-range commercial and business aviation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniel Wiegand, CEO of Lilium said: \u201cSouthern Spain attracts\na high demand of premium tourism. Combined with Helity\u2019s great local expertise\nand experience in the operation of helicopters, as well as the hiring of highly\nskilled pilots, we have ideal conditions for the development of a sustainable\nair mobility network in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lilium is currently conducting Flight Tests with its 5th\ngeneration technology demonstrator at the ATLAS Flight Test Center in\nVillacarrillo (Jaen), Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The proposed arrangement between Helity and Lilium is\nsubject to the parties finalizing commercial terms and entering into definitive\nagreements with respect thereto, and the satisfaction of certain conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
