Eve Air Mobility Expands Middle East Footprint with Bahrain Agreement

Eve Air Mobility’s Framework Agreement with Bahrain’s Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications underscores its commitment to sustainable air mobility and positions the Kingdom as a potential eVTOL innovation hub in the region.

MANAMA, Bahrain – Eve Air Mobility (NYSE: EVEX, EVEXW; B3: EVEB31) has announced a significant Framework Agreement with the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications (MTT) of Bahrain, signaling a major step forward for advanced air mobility in the Middle East. The agreement, unveiled at the Gateway Gulf Investment Forum 2025, aligns with Bahrain’s strategic vision to become a leader in next-generation transportation solutions.

This partnership aims to accelerate the integration of eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft into Bahrain’s existing transportation infrastructure. The collaboration will focus on establishing a regulatory sandbox to rigorously test and refine Advanced Air Mobility systems, paving the way for the development of vertiports designed for safe and scalable eVTOL operations. The emphasis will be on zero-emission, low-noise operations, crucial for urban integration, alongside workforce training initiatives to support the emerging sector. Initial commercial operations are projected to commence in 2028, with plans for international route expansion by 2029.

“This Framework Agreement with Bahrain marks a pivotal moment in our efforts to bring sustainable air mobility to the Middle East,” stated Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve Air Mobility. “Bahrain’s forward-thinking approach to innovation and clean transportation makes it an ideal partner as we strive to revolutionize urban and regional transportation in an environmentally responsible manner. Together, we are laying the groundwork for safe, efficient, and eco-conscious eVTOL operations, connecting communities and fostering new economic prospects.”

His Excellency the Minister Dr Shaikh Abdulla bin Ahmed Al Khalifa commented, “The Agreement with Eve Air Mobility, a globally recognized leader in eVTOL aircraft development, underscores Bahrain’s dedication to establishing itself as a regional center of excellence for aviation innovation. We are committed to ensuring the safe and sustainable integration of advanced air mobility solutions, not only for Bahrain but also for the broader GCC region and the world.”

Eve Air Mobility is currently evaluating potential premium shuttle and tourist routes in key regional hubs, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, Doha, Istanbul, and Manama. These routes are designed to significantly reduce travel times and offer unique mobility experiences for both residents and tourists. The company’s strategic route planning takes into account factors such as existing infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and potential passenger demand.

Eve’s eVTOL design, specifically tailored for the region’s challenging climate, incorporates features such as advanced UV/IR window protection, a microclimate air conditioning system, and a Lift + Cruise configuration that minimizes exposure to dust and sand. These enhancements are critical for ensuring operational reliability and passenger comfort in extreme environmental conditions. The Lift + Cruise design, separating lifting and forward propulsion, also contributes to improved energy efficiency, a crucial factor for the economic viability of eVTOL operations.
