Eve Air Mobility moves ahead with Eve 100 eVTOL certification and Moov aircraft deal

Brazil's civil aviation authority ANAC opened a public consultation lasting until 8 August to set noise‑test criteria for the Eve 100 eVTOL, limiting sound at 150 m altitude to roughly 15 decibels – comparable to a whisper. Eve Air Mobility, a subsidiary of Embraer, filed its type‑certificate request with ANAC in February 2022 and has now asked Europe’s aviation regulator EASA to validate the certification, marking coordinated progress across Brazil, the United States and Europe. CEO Johann Bordais said the ANAC consultation and the EASA validation request are “fundamental steps” toward type certification and international market entry. On the same day, Eve signed a letter of intent with Swiss‑based Moov for the purchase of up to 30 electric vertical‑take‑off‑and‑landing aircraft, targeting tourism, airport shuttles and regional connectivity in Cabo Verde and potentially Europe. The partnership aims to support island‑hopping flights, sightseeing tours and medical transport, leveraging the growing tourism market in the Atlantic archipelago.
