Lilium and Galaxy FBO Partner on Houston eVTOL Infrastructure: Aviation International News Coverage

Lilium, the Munich-based aviation company developing an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, has announced a partnership with Galaxy FBO to develop infrastructure for their aircraft in Houston.

The partnership will focus on building vertiports, which are designated areas for eVTOL aircraft to take off and land. These vertiports will be strategically located throughout Houston to allow for efficient travel within the city and surrounding areas.

Lilium’s eVTOL aircraft, which is capable of carrying up to four passengers, is designed to revolutionize urban air mobility by providing on-demand transportation services. With a top speed of 186 mph and a range of over 155 miles, the aircraft is expected to significantly reduce travel times and congestion in urban areas.

Galaxy FBO, a leading fixed-base operator at Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport, will leverage its expertise in aviation infrastructure to support the development of Lilium’s vertiports. The company’s experience in managing airport operations and services will be instrumental in ensuring the success of this partnership.

Both Lilium and Galaxy FBO are excited about the potential of eVTOL technology to transform the way people travel in urban environments. By working together to develop infrastructure in Houston, they hope to pave the way for a future where air taxis are a common mode of transportation.

The partnership between Lilium and Galaxy FBO is a significant step forward in the advancement of eVTOL technology. As the companies collaborate to build vertiports in Houston, they are not only shaping the future of urban air mobility but also demonstrating the potential of electric aircraft to revolutionize the way we travel.
