Japan-headquartered eVTOL aircraft manufacturer SkyDrive, South Carolina-based private charter company SAI Flight and Greenville Downtown Airport have signed an agreement to jointly develop air freight, air taxi and emergency services opportunities using SkyDrive aircraft.
The three organizations are partnering with local and state governments and local businesses to create practical routes from the Greenville Downtown Airport to places like downtown and the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport.
SAI Flight has placed a pre-order for 10 SkyDrive aircraft, and its SAI Flight Services division will oversee operations and maintenance from its base at Greenville Downtown Airport.
“This partnership represents a milestone in our efforts to drive business growth in South Carolina,” said SkyDrive CEO Tomohiro Fukuzawa. “We will continue to deepen our cooperation with our local partners, while making strategic preparations to fully realize our new business model.”
