Toyota, Japan. SkyDrive Inc., a leading Japanese eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) manufacturer, announced the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Aeroauto Global, Inc (“Aeroauto”), a Florida-based Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) integration partner and infrastructure provider. This agreement marks a significant milestone in SkyDrive’s US expansion, solidifying its commitment to the Florida market and establishing the basic terms for the purchase of eight “SKYDRIVE (SD_05)” aircraft, including pricing and a delivery schedule.
SkyDrive has also come to an agreement with SAI Flight (“SAI”) to extend their existing partnership beyond South Carolina to Florida, where SAI currently boasts their second largest operational base.
With these two new agreements, SkyDrive has created a partnership cluster which, as attention to AAM in Florida grows, will ensure a smooth entry into service in 2028.
Florida is a high-potential market and these partnerships will expand SkyDrive’s US footprint in Florida and beyond, expanding our influence in the US Southeastern region.
By integrating SkyDrive’s proven expertise in eVTOL aircraft development with SAI’s air operations and Aeroauto’s established sales network, SkyDrive is building a comprehensive business foundation to support its US market expansion. The complementary business models shared between SkyDrive, Aeroauto, and SAI represent a pivotal shift in the US Advanced Air Mobility landscape, catalysing a new wave of collaboration and operational readiness across the Southeastern corridor.
