Eve Air Mobility signed a non-binding Letter of Intent at the Farnborough Airshow for up to 16 eVTOL aircraft with Shearwater Global Capital, Bay Point’s aviation finance unit, which will provide asset-based leasing solutions to operators. This arrangement addresses a critical commercialization barrier in advanced air mobility by enabling operators to access Eve 100 aircraft without direct capital outlay, complementing Eve’s global backlog of over 2,700 commitments. The LOI, announced 19 July 2026, does not guarantee delivery until definitive agreements are executed, and no pricing or timeline was disclosed. Shearwater’s entry into eVTOL leasing signals growing financial sector confidence ahead of Eve’s targeted 2027 certification and entry into service.
