Leveraging SunTrax Air's purpose-built testing environment, the initiative will help shape the infrastructure and operational framework needed to support Advanced Air Mobility and future commercial eVTOL operations.

FARNBOROUGH, England, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Eve Air Mobility ("Eve") (NYSE:EVEX, EVEXW, B3: EVEB31)), a global leader in eVTOL aircraft and integrated services, is announcing a partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for a focused Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) initiative at SunTrax Air.

The FDOT-led initiative will bring together Eve's expertise in eVTOL aircraft, operations, and services with SunTrax Air's research, testing, and validation capabilities. The effort will focus on delivering insights into the infrastructure, operational procedures, and airspace navigation procedures needed to enable the safe and efficient integration of Advanced Air Mobility into Florida's transportation network.

"Florida recognizes its strategic role in the future of Advanced Air Mobility and is proactively building the ecosystem needed to support it," said Johann Bordais, chief executive officer of Eve Air Mobility. "Chief Will Watts and the FDOT team understand that successfully introducing a new mode of transportation requires alignment across aircraft, infrastructure, operations, and communities. Building on Embraer's longstanding relationship with the state, Eve is proud to bring its expertise to help advance Florida's vision and readiness for eVTOL operations."

Owned and operated by FDOT, SunTrax Air serves as Florida's dedicated Advanced Air Mobility research and development hub, providing a collaborative environment to evaluate technologies, operational concepts, and supporting infrastructure for next-generation aviation.

The partnership builds on the growing relationship between Eve and FDOT. Through ongoing collaboration, the organizations will work to position Florida as a national leader in AAM. Using SunTrax Air's purpose-built research and testing environment, they will evaluate operational concepts, infrastructure readiness, passenger experience, and future ecosystem requirements, creating a foundation that supports Florida's long-term transportation strategy while helping accelerate the commercialization of Advanced Air Mobility.
