Groupe ADP, Embraer and Eve Air Mobility have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) focused on innovation and sustainable development, aiming to prepare the future of low-carbon aviation in and around Paris-Le-Bourget Airport.
The MoU covers the creation of new capabilities to enhance Embraer’s aircraft maintenance operations, to prepare for the future Energia family, and to support the development of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations with eVTOLs. With this collaboration, Paris-Le Bourget aims to consolidate its status as an innovative aeronautical cluster and a pioneering airport in decarbonised aviation.
Groupe ADP intends to provide its expertise to support future operations of the Energia aircraft family at Paris-Le Bourget, with the study of a hydrogen infrastructure. Embraer’s Energia program was updated last year with two concept aircraft models of 19 and 30 seats, with hybrid-electric and hydrogen-electric propulsion.
“We are proud that Embraer, the world’s leading manufacturer of innovative aircraft, and Eve, are strengthening their presence and activities at Paris-Le Bourget Airport,” said Edward Arkwright, Deputy CEO, Groupe ADP. “We know they will be excellent partners in advancing the transition to low-carbon aviation, especially for small aircraft. Paris-Le Bourget is a pioneering airport. Thanks to the mobilisation of all its teams, it will be able to promote Embraer’s new sustainable technologies: hybrid, electric and hydrogen engines.”
