Aviation News – Eve Air Mobility signs landmark agreement with Bahrain to develop next-generation air mobility infrastructure.
Eve Air Mobility has entered a major Framework Agreement with Bahrain’s Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications (MTT) to accelerate the introduction of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft across the kingdom. Announced during the Gateway Gulf Investment Forum 2025, the deal marks a key step toward establishing Bahrain as a regional hub for sustainable air transport.
The agreement outlines joint efforts to prepare Bahrain’s regulatory, operational, and infrastructure frameworks for eVTOL integration. Eve and the MTT will develop a sandbox testing environment for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) systems and design vertiport infrastructure to support future commercial services. The initiative aligns with Bahrain’s broader national strategy to promote green innovation and diversify its economy through high-tech transport solutions.
Eve’s eVTOL aircraft are designed for zero-emission, low-noise urban operations. The collaboration will include pilot training, air traffic integration, and ground-support systems to ensure safe and efficient operations. Initial commercial flights are targeted for 2028, with regional expansion planned by 2029.
“This agreement reflects Bahrain’s leadership in embracing cleaner, smarter mobility solutions,” said an Eve Air Mobility spokesperson. “Together with MTT, we aim to set new standards for sustainable air travel in the Middle East.”
The partnership could make Bahrain one of the first Gulf nations to establish a functioning eVTOL network, paving the way for greener urban transportation and cross-border connectivity. Industry observers see the move as a strong signal of the region’s growing commitment to sustainable aviation.
By combining regulatory readiness with advanced technology, Bahrain and Eve Air Mobility are charting a clear course toward a new era of quiet, emission-free air mobility in the Gulf.
