EHang Holdings Limited, a Chinese autonomous aerial vehicle developer, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Vertiport Networks, a European UTM software and vertiport infrastructure provider, to develop an advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem.

The partnership aims to integrate EHang’s EH216-S autonomous eVTOL aircraft into Vertiport’s network ecosystem, advancing European urban air mobility (UAM) and the low-altitude economy. Vertiport Networks will provide modular infrastructure and manage flight operations using its EU-certified VNOS system, supporting urban residents with accessible UAM solutions.
