Eve Air Mobility Signs Agreement to Develop Advanced Air Mobility Ecosystem in Costa Rica
Up to 50 Electric eVTOL Aircraft Could Operate in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, Under Eve, Aerosolutions, and Bluenest Agreement to Transform Tourist Mobility
Eve Air Mobility has signed a letter of intent with Aerosolutions and Bluenest by Globalvia to advance the development of an advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem in Costa Rica. The agreement includes the potential sale of up to 50 electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, along with access to Eve’s TechCare portfolio—a suite of integrated services designed to optimize operations, maintenance, and customer support.
The collaboration will initially focus on the Pacific region, particularly Guanacaste, a key destination for international tourism. The planned routes will connect airports with resorts and eco-tourism sites, covering distances of 20 to 50 kilometers. Costa Rica welcomes more than three million international visitors annually, yet road traffic often causes significant delays.
“We’re excited to see how our eVTOL can transform mobility in regions like Guanacaste, reducing congestion and enhancing Costa Rica’s leadership in ecotourism,” said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve Air Mobility.
The agreement enables Aerosolutions, the company behind Aeros Electric Airlines, to integrate Eve’s aircraft and use its TechCare services. “This partnership allows us to offer faster, more efficient, and sustainable travel options, especially in areas with limited or congested road infrastructure,” added Megha Bhatia, Chief Commercial Officer at Eve.
Bluenest, the advanced air mobility unit of Globalvia, will provide the necessary infrastructure for safe and sustainable operations. The company, which manages Route 27 – Autopista del Sol, aims to create intermodal connections between air and ground transport.
“This is a key step in Costa Rica’s commitment to sustainable tourism,” said Antonio Mota, CEO of Aerosolutions, who noted that the company will lead the deployment of eVTOL operations in areas like Guanacaste.
The project also includes joint workshops to address vertiport development, airspace integration, pilot training, and operational certification.
José Ignacio Rodríguez of Bluenest emphasized that “our work in Costa Rica supports integration with Eve’s UATM (Vector) air traffic management software, recently showcased at Airspace World in Lisbon.”
Eve’s eVTOL aircraft features a lift+cruise configuration, with eight rotors for vertical flight and fixed wings for cruise, using no moving parts in flight. The electric propulsion system includes redundant motors for enhanced safety. The aircraft is currently in the testing phase, focused on validating its performance and safety.
