Key Takeaways:

German eVTOL manufacturer Lilium is expanding into the Middle East, signing a deal for Dubai-based ArcosJet to purchase 10 Pioneer Edition Jets and become its exclusive private sales dealer in the UAE, Israel, and Cyprus.
The 4-seat Lilium Pioneer Edition Jet, priced at $10 million and designed for regional air mobility (RAM), targets private customers with first deliveries expected to begin in 2026.
Lilium distinguishes itself by focusing on private sales for longer-range RAM, contrasting with competitors like Archer and Joby who are establishing urban air mobility (UAM) air taxi services in the region.
Lilium is currently the only eVTOL manufacturer with certification bases from both the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the FAA, facilitating its global operational strategy.
