Aerosolutions has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Eve Air Mobility, an innovative developer of eVTOL aircraft, and Bluenest by Globalvia, an AAM infrastructure developer and vertiport operator, for the sale of up to 50 eVTOL aircraft and access to Eve’s comprehensive TechCare services. The agreement is said to be a big step towards developing a robust AAM ecosystem in Costa Rica.
The collaboration will initially focus on the Pacific region in northwest Costa Rica, connecting airports to premium resorts and eco-destinations via routes ranging from 20-50km. With over three million visitors annually, Costa Rica is the most visited country in Central America, yet its extensive road network is often congested and slow. By introducing efficient, low-emission air taxi services, the initiative aims to transform tourist and local mobility, reduce ground traffic and enhance sustainable tourism.
Bluenest, the AAM business line of Globalvia, will play a key role in developing vertiport infrastructure to enable safe, sustainable and efficient operations. As the operator of Costa Rica’s main highway Ruta 27–Autopista del Sol, Globalvia’s integrated approach is expected to facilitate seamless intermodal connections between air and ground transport, further improving the traveller experience.
"By developing cutting-edge vertiports, we are enabling safe and efficient eVTOL operations, contributing to Costa Rica's green agenda and laying the groundwork for a truly interconnected and eco-conscious future of travel,” says Bluenest managing director Jose Ignacio Rodriguez.
“This partnership with Eve Air Mobility and Bluenest by Globalvia is a significant leap forward for Costa Rica’s commitment to sustainable tourism,” says Antonio Mota, CEO of Aerosolutions. “Aerosolutions is proud to lead the operational deployment of these eVTOLs, which will reduce travel times and congestion in key tourist regions like Guanacaste and reinforce the nation’s reputation as a global leader in eco-friendly innovation.”
Under the agreement, Aerosolutions will have access to Eve’s TechCare suite, an all-in-one portfolio of services designed to streamline eVTOL operations, maintenance and customer support. The partners will collaborate through dedicated workshops focused on vertiport development, airspace integration, pilot training and certification, and operational planning, laying the foundation for successful AAM deployment in the region.
Eve’s eVTOL aircraft use a lift+cruise configuration with eight dedicated propellers for vertical flight and fixed wings to fly on cruise, with no moving parts in flight. The aircraft includes an electric pusher powered by dual electric motors that provide propulsion redundancy, ensuring high levels of performance and safety. The company is advancing the current stage of the eVTOL development, which involves a series of comprehensive tests with the prototype to evaluate every aspect of the aircraft's operation and performance, from flight capabilities to safety features.
“This partnership empowers Aerosolutions to dramatically cut travel times, streamline logistics and enhance the overall passenger experience,” concludes Megha Bhatia, chief commercial officer at Eve Air Mobility. “It’s not just a smarter way to travel; it’s a bold leap into the future of connected regional transportation.”
