Eve Air Mobility and RV Connex, a leading Thai engineering and aerospace company, are signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to support the development of a direct framework that will help shape Thailand’s Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) industry.
What is a MOU?
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is a type of agreement between two or more parties. The main idea is to outline intentions, roles, and objectives, serving as a mutual acknowledgement of potential outcomes and processes. However, the agreement is legally nonbinding.
Under the MOU, RV Connex and Eve will collaborate on long-term industry and regulatory engagement in Thailand. It will also bring together interested public and private stakeholders to establish safe, efficient, and scalable advanced air mobility operations.

Johann Bordais, chief executive officer at Eve Air Mobility, said:
“Thailand offers a fantastic opportunity for urban air mobility. Working with RV Connex lets us help shape the regulations this industry needs to grow. This MOU shows our strong commitment to building the needed regulatory and operational foundations together with local partners.”
Sujate Jantarang, president of RV Connex, said:
“RV Connex wants to help make Thailand a leader in global advanced air mobility. Our MOU with Eve Air Mobility and our partners will create a strong framework to help Thai authorities develop modern, globally aligned regulations for this new technology.”
This collaboration aims to evaluate future operational scenarios, safety requirements, airspace rules, and infrastructure needs specific to Thailand’s aviation system.
RV Connex is learning from global AAM standards to meet the needs of the Thai market and will collaborate closely with partners from government, academia, and industry to ensure the process is thorough and inclusive.
