Key Takeaways:

Jaunt Air Mobility signed a letter of intent with Redwings, a Mexican private jet operator, for the purchase of up to 20 Journey eVTOL aircraft and a strategic partnership to launch air taxi services in urban markets, starting with Mexico City.
Redwings selected the Journey eVTOL specifically for its superior performance capabilities at high altitudes, which is essential for operations in elevated cities like Mexico City.
This agreement expands Jaunt's global market reach, adding to previous significant deals in Canada, South Korea, and India, as the company pursues certification for its eVTOL by late 2026 for commercial deployment.

Jaunt Air Mobility is taking more than a jaunt into Mexico.

The Dallas, Texas-based air taxi manufacturer on Wednesday signed a letter of intent with Redwings, a Mexican private jet operator and fixed-base operator, that would see the latter purchase up to 20 Journey electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxis. Redwings intends to buy 10 aircraft but will have the option to acquire 10 more.
