The Lufthansa Group and Munich-based electric aircraft producer Lilium have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore a partnership on electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft in Europe, Lufthansa announced Thursday.
The companies will explore opportunities for ground and flight operations, future aircraft maintenance, crew and flight training, as well as possible collaboration with airports and regional partners on the development and infrastructure for vertiports, airspace integration and required operation processes, according to Lufthansa.
Lilium earlier this week announced it had begun production of its Lilium jet and projects demand in the European market for about 9,200 eVTOL aircraft through 2035, according to Lufthansa.
