Signature Teams With Eve to Assess eVTOL Ground Support

Signature Aviation has started joint work with Eve Air Mobility to assess ground operations requirements for planned eVTOL air taxi services. The U.S.-based FBO network recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the spin-off from Embraer, which is working to bring its four-passenger eVTOL aircraft into commercial service in 2027.

The agreement does not specifically commit Signature to establishing new infrastructure at its FBOs, but it will provide Eve with expertise on private terminal operations and other aspects of business aviation support. The two companies also signed a letter of intent covering possible use of Eve’s Vector urban air traffic management software.

“The announcement of our partnership with Eve adds to a transformative year for Signature, while also reinforcing our commitment to shaping the future of aviation through our sustainability initiatives,” said Signature Aviation’s chief commercial officer, Derek DeCross. “We’re always looking ahead to create and deliver exceptional experiences for our guests, and working towards the most comprehensive ground infrastructure for eVTOL aircraft is a major part of that mission. This collaboration will bring together our experience, resources, and creativity to find the most effective path towards innovative, safe, and scalable ground operations for advanced air mobility.”

Signature is among several FBO groups exploring plans to support electric aircraft operations. Atlantic Aviation and Clay Lacy have signed agreements with other eVTOL aircraft manufacturers including Joby, Archer and Beta Technologies.
