Brazil Gears Up for eVTOL Commercial Operations with Eve Air Mobility Summit: What You Need To Know

Published on October 16, 2025

Eve Air Mobility has teamed up with InvestSP to host a strategic summit with the goal of expediting the development of eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft in Brazil, marking a revolution in the field’s future. With the aim of starting commercial eVTOL operations by 2027, the event, which brought together industry leaders, regulatory bodies, and important stakeholders, concentrated on crucial topics like eVTOL regulation, vertiport deployment, and workforce training.

This initiative marks a pivotal moment for Brazilian aviation and positions the country as a potential leader in Urban Air Mobility, with eVTOLs playing a crucial role in transforming urban air travel. The summit aims to create an integrated, sustainable, and efficient ecosystem that includes cutting-edge aircraft technology, necessary infrastructure, and well-trained personnel to meet the rising demands for faster, greener, and more accessible transportation solutions.

Paving the Way for the Future of Air Travel in Brazil

The eVTOL aircraft by Eve, with its range of up to 100 kilometers, will revolutionize short-distance intra-urban travel. A key example is the São Paulo to Guarulhos International Airport connection, which currently takes up to 150 minutes by road, but will be reduced to just 15 minutes with the eVTOL. This not only promises time savings but also paves the way for a new era of sustainable air travel.

Enhancing Connectivity and Efficiency with eVTOL

As eVTOLs make their way to Brazil, investments in infrastructure will be critical. Vertiports, which act as the landing and takeoff sites for eVTOL aircraft, will need to be strategically placed across major urban centers to ensure that this new form of air mobility is fully integrated into the existing transport network.

This integration is particularly significant for Brazil’s booming tourism sector, where access to more remote destinations or shorter travel times could open up entirely new experiences for visitors. The potential to quickly and efficiently transport tourists from city hubs to tourist hotspots or coastal areas could change how both locals and visitors navigate the country.

Building the Ecosystem for Urban Air Mobility

The summit also emphasized the importance of building a strong workforce to support the rise of eVTOL technology in Brazil. Workforce training will play a key role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of eVTOLs. With Eve’s production facility in Taubaté (São Paulo) expected to manufacture up to 480 units per year, the demand for skilled professionals in this emerging sector is set to grow.

Tulum, Rio de Janeiro, and Beyond: A Bright Future for Urban Air Mobility

As eVTOL technology continues to evolve, the future of urban air mobility in Brazil looks promising. The collaboration between Eve Air Mobility and InvestSP is just the beginning of what could become a game-changing transportation solution for tourism, business travel, and local commutes. With continued investments in infrastructure, regulation, and workforce development, Brazil is poised to be a leader in the UAM sector, opening doors for other Latin American countries to follow suit.

Transforming Air Travel in Brazil

The summit organized by Eve Air Mobility and InvestSP represents a significant milestone in Brazil’s path to adopting Urban Air Mobility. Bringing together regulatory frameworks, infrastructure improvements, and a trained workforce will ensure the successful integration of eVTOL aircraft into the Brazilian airspace and make air travel more efficient, sustainable, and available to local and tourism traffic alike. Brazil’s aviation industry continues to innovate and will bring a bright future to urban air travel.
