On Tuesday (March 10, 2026), Embraer announced that Eve Air Mobility, a global leader in the development of next-generation electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) solutions, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Alt Air, a new Advanced Air Mobility company based in Sydney, Australia.  Alt Air has also partnered with Skyports Infrastructure (Skyports) to prepare for eVTOL operations across both New South Wales and Queensland, Australia.

In Tuesday’s announcement, Eve Air Mobility’s CEO, Johann Bordais, said,

“Through this collaboration, we are laying the foundation for a world-class eVTOL ecosystem in Australia.  New South Wales and Queensland present an incredible opportunity to deliver sustainable, quiet, and efficient urban air mobility solutions that will benefit residents, businesses, and international visitors, especially as we look toward the opening of Western Sydney International Airport and the global stage of the Brisbane 2032 Games.”

Also commenting on the eVTOL collaboration, Alt Air’s Managing Director, Aaron Shaw, said,

“Our work with Eve Air Mobility and Skyports underscores our shared commitment to building meaningful aviation innovation in Australia.  Together, we are designing an eVTOL network that will significantly improve connectivity and set a benchmark for advanced air mobility worldwide.”

Skyports Infrastructure’s Head of Asia-Pacific, Yun-Yuan Tay, added,

“We see Australia as a key future market for AAM and have enjoyed strong stakeholder engagement and enthusiasm across the country.  We’re excited to apply our real-world vertiport experience and enable the next era of flight in Australia.  South East Queensland is one of the most attractive markets for AAM to launch in Australia and the Brisbane 2032 Games will be a strong catalyst to enable a safe, efficient and legacy network that will extend well beyond the Games.”

With these partnerships, Alt Air will leverage existing airports and other unique aviation infrastructure assets in Sydney, including operating bases on Sydney Harbour and at Palm Beach.  With Skyports, Alt Air will explore new vertiport locations to expand the network of future commercial eVTOL services in Queensland.  This consortium brings together the key components required to establish a safe, efficient, and sustainable Urban Air Mobility (UAM) ecosystem.  Eve, Alt Air, and Skyports will co-develop an integrated operational plan spanning critical elements of Australia’s emerging eVTOL market, including vertiport infrastructure, route planning, airspace integration, ground operations, and customer experience.  

The collaboration will support future commercial eVTOL services across both regions, including a roadmap that builds high-visibility operations in time for the Brisbane 2032 Summer Games.  Eve, Alt Air and Skyports will assess priority routes linking major population centers, commercial districts, and tourism hubs across Sydney, South East Queensland, and surrounding regions.  Early concepts include high-demand corridors such as Western Sydney International Airport to downtown Sydney.  By establishing a connected vertiport network and fully operational routes ahead of the Games, the partners intend to showcase Australia’s leadership in advanced air mobility.
