Lilium, a Nasdaq-listed eVTOL jet developer, has signed an MoU with Atlantic Aviation, an aviation services company, to electrify Atlantic's existing airport infrastructure network of more than 100 fixed-based operations (FBO) to launch Lilium Jet's regional air mobility service in the US. 

Atlantic operates facilities at over 30 airport locations in Lilium’s planned launch markets: Florida, Southern California, the Northeast corridor, and Texas.

In addition, the collaboration will focus on infrastructure provisioning, including charging capabilities, aircraft flight paths, passenger facilities, operations forecasting, and more.
