Sino Jet has inked a monumental procurement agreement with AEROFUGIA, a subsidiary of Geely Group, for the acquisition of 100 state-of-the-art eVTOL aircraft. This strategic milestone aims to forge a pioneering urban mobility ecosystem. Simultaneously, Sino Jet and AEROFUGIA have solidified their partnership through an exclusive strategic cooperation agreement. Both entities are set to collaboratively shape the ongoing airworthiness standards for eVTOLs, providing a comprehensive solution for low-altitude, three-dimensional commercial operations.
The agility, convenience, and privacy inherent in business jets make them the preferred mode of transportation for time-conscious business executives. Today’s business aviation landscape predominantly comprises jet-propelled aircraft, which require designated runways for flights between airports. In contrast, eVTOLs represent an innovative generation of aviation technology marked by safety, reliability, environmental consciousness, and economic efficiency. With minimal takeoff and landing area requirements, zero carbon emissions, stellar performance, and enhanced safety measures, eVTOLs align with environmental and sustainable development principles. Leveraging these strengths, eVTOLs seamlessly complement business jets, elevating the quality of end-to-end travel experiences and further enhancing time efficiency.
Mr. Li Yuanfeng, President of Sino Jet, underscores the potential of eVTOLs in shaping a green, sustainable, and three-dimensional aviation ecosystem. AEROFUGIA, a leading Chinese eVTOL developer and manufacturer under Geely Technology Group, has engineered the AE200 to address market demands with advanced technological achievements, aligning harmoniously with Sino Jet’s commitment to “green development”. Sino Jet is primed to forge ahead with business expansion, leveraging the unique strengths of eVTOLs to unlock broader development prospects within the business aviation sector.
Dr. Guo Liang, CEO and Chief Scientist of AEROFUGIA, asserts AEROFUGIA’s dedication to creating more efficient business travel experiences with eVTOL characterized by exceptional safety, performance, and comfort. Anticipating future collaboration with Sino Jet, AEROFUGIA seeks to synergize industry resources, facilitating the real-world application of eVTOLs in a range of commercial scenarios.
Ms. Gu Wenting, Vice President of Geely Technology Group, notes that AEROFUGIA serves as Geely Technology Group’s platform for low-altitude travel services. Geely Technology Group will continue providing robust support to AEROFUGIA, fostering an open approach that embraces additional collaborative partners. This collective effort aims to accelerate the rapid development of the low-altitude travel industry.
Following the signing of the strategic agreement, Sino Jet will leverage its extensive experience in aircraft operations, deploying a highly digitized aircraft lifecycle management system and a skilled professional team to facilitate the establishment of continuous airworthiness standards and compliance methods for eVTOLs. This concerted effort will expedite the swift commercial operation of eVTOLs, cultivating a smart, efficient, safe, reliable, and sustainable intelligent aerial transportation ecosystem.
