Japan-headquartered eVTOL aircraft manufacturer SkyDrive, South Carolina-based private jet charter company SAI Flight and Greenville Downtown Airport have signed an agreement to jointly develop air cargo, air taxi and emergency service opportunities using SkyDrive’s aircraft.
The three organizations are collaborating with local and state governments and local businesses to design practical routes originating from Greenville Downtown Airport to such destinations as the city center and 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 marks 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 local partners, while making strategic preparations to fully realize our innovative business model.”
