EHang COO Zhao Wang says: “We are thrilled to join hands with KCBH in our ongoing efforts to advance UAM commercial operations. With KCBH's long history and extensive customer base in the transportation sector, we believe our collaboration will effectively promote the deployment and operation of EH216-S aircraft in Hong Kong and Macau.

Our partnership with EHang marks a new era by extending our passenger transport services from the ground to the sky.
