The German manufacturer looks to expand its industrial footprint with the expansion of production capabilities into France.

The manufacturer agrees to sell aircraft to UrbanLink Air Mobility, a company founded in March that plans to operate eVTOL aircraft in several major American cities.

The manufacturer says its presence at this year’s event in Geneva will be its largest yet.

Each electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) Lilium Jet will include 10 battery packs, which provide range and redundancy.

The electric jet manufacturer says Atlantic operates sites at more than 30 airport locations within its planned U.S. launch markets, which include Florida and Texas.

The manufacturer’s flagship Lilium Jet—an all-electric seven-seater—will be supported by chargers from Star Charge and the company’s new service, Power-On.

The German manufacturer and its partner will study regional air mobility routes, city pairs, passenger demand, and more in the ASEAN market.

The company, which is building a vertiport at the Florida airport, also backed legislation that would streamline the process for future vertiport approvals.

U.K.-based AJW Group will oversee Lilium Jet inventory, provide warehousing and logistics services, and offer repair and asset management as an exclusive partner.
