VerticalAerospace pre-order portfolio increased to 1,400 airtaxis

🔻 The launch of the startup’s commercial activities is scheduled for 2025.

The four-seat eVTOL VX4 has attracted the attention of European business jet operator FlyingGroup, which has pre-ordered up to 50 airtaxis.

✈️ FlyingGroup intends to add the VX4 to its existing fleet of 45 conventional aircraft. With a projected top speed of 320 km/h, the eVTOL vehicles will be used to provide customers with alternative regional air mobility by flying the first and last 160 kilometers of their flight, the company said.

Thanks to the new partnership, Vertical’s pre-order portfolio is now valued at approximately $5.6 billion.
