JetSetGo Partners With SkyDrive & Eve Air for Urban Air Mobility Services

JetSetGo, a chartered aircraft and fleet services operator, announced on Tuesday that it had formed strategic partnerships with EVTOL technology company SkyDrive and Eve Air Mobility to develop and launch urban air mobility (UAM) services in India.

The announcement was made at the Urban Air Mobility Expo, part of the Bharat Mobility Show at the India Expo Centre and Mart in Greater Noida from January 19-22. The event was organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and supported by the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA).

As part of these partnerships, JetSetGo signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SkyDrive- a leader in eVTOL technology, to explore opportunities for its three-seat fully electric multi-copter- SKYDRIVE. They also signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) for a preorder of up to 50 aircraft. This collaboration will test use cases and market demand, with initial projects planned for Gujarat and potential expansion to other areas across India.

In addition, JetSetGo signed another LOI with Eve Air Mobility to integrate Vector, Eve’s advanced Urban Air Traffic Management (UATM) solution, into its future eVTOL fleet operations. Eve's Vector solution is globally recognized and with JetSetGo becoming its 14th customer and second in India that shows increasing global interest.

Kanika Tekriwal, Founder at JetSetGo, said, “Urban Air Mobility has the potential to change how we move within cities, making travel faster, easier and more sustainable. At JetSetGo, we are not just joining this change; we’re working to lead it. Our partnerships with SkyDrive and Eve Air Mobility are important steps toward building a system that solves real problems like traffic congestion, high emissions and limited access to quick, safe travel. We want urban air mobility to become an everyday solution that benefits millions, drives economic growth and helps India take a leading role in the future of aviation.”

Mr. Amit Dutta, Chairman, CII Taskforce on Short Haul Air Mobility and Managing Director, Hunch Mobility, said, “The Urban Air Mobility Expo 2025, organized by CII, underscores its pivotal role in shaping India’s leadership in advanced air mobility. By providing a collaborative platform for manufacturers, facilitators and operators, CII aims to drive the development of a future-ready urban air mobility ecosystem. Such initiatives reflect CII’s unwavering commitment to fostering innovation, promoting sustainability, and building global partnerships, all of which align seamlessly with India’s vision for transformative transportation solutions.”

In last January, the company signed a deal for 280 hybrid-electric aircraft, including 130 optional ones worth over $1.3 billion with three global aviation tech firms: Electra.aero, Horizon Aircraft and Overair. The aircraft will be used for airport transfers, regional connections, inter-city travel, intra-city shuttles and urban air taxis.
