The agreement, which was announced during their debuts at the Farnborough Airshow, is a solid foundation for potential future projects in Europe.

CRISALION Mobility, a European leader in developing efficient, safe, and sustainable electric mobility solutions, has announced a new partnership with Dubai-based private aviation operator Air Chateau. This collaboration aims to advance the development of electric air taxi services in the United Arab Emirates.

Expansion of Pre-Order Book
Air Chateau has placed a pre-order for ten Integrity eVTOLs, a move that was unveiled during both companies' debut appearances at the Farnborough International Airshow 2024. This pre-order increases CRISALION's conditional pre-order book to a total of 125 aircraft. Additionally, this marks CRISALION’s first commercial partnership in both the private aviation market and the Middle East.

Growth Plan for Electric Air Taxi Services
CRISALION and Air Chateau will collaborate closely on developing a growth plan for electric air taxi services in major UAE cities, including Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The region's demographics and openness to advanced air mobility provide a promising environment for the expansion of eVTOLs.

Potential for Future Joint Projects

This agreement also lays the groundwork for potential future joint projects between CRISALION and Air Chateau in Europe. With the integration of Integrity aircraft into Air Chateau's services, the company will offer customers a safe, sustainable, and zero-emissions regional air mobility alternative.

Features of the Integrity eVTOL

CRISALION Mobility’s Integrity eVTOL, currently under development, is designed to carry up to five passengers and a pilot. It is intended for both urban and intercity passenger and cargo transport. Equipped with FlyFree technology, the aircraft ensures high safety standards throughout the flight, providing an optimal travel experience while minimizing emissions.

Words of the Leaders

CRISALION Mobility General Manager Manuel Heredia said: "Air Chateau has demonstrated a strong commitment to advanced air mobility, innovation, and technology as one of UAE’s leading aviation companies. This partnership opens not only the door to a strategic region for CRISALION but will also form part of Air Chateau’s approach to providing sustainable air travel services to its customers. We are truly proud to have been chosen as a partner by Air Chateau.”

Air Chateau's Chairman, Samir Mohamed, added: “Our shared vision of transforming Advanced Air mobility (AAM) aligns perfectly with the needs of modern transportation in the urban and suburban settings. Through this partnership, we will not only enhance connectivity but also contribute to alleviating the burden on legacy ground infrastructure, complement existing transportation networks, reduce congestion and build a sustainable future. Air Chateau is excited about the future of AAM, and this collaboration with CRISALION marks a milestone in our journey towards creating smarter, greener cities.”
