The two companies will explore the creation of tailored UAM services, by identifying strategic use cases for emission-free mobility solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agreement foresees a joint approach toward local mobility stakeholders in order to onboard additional partners for the safe and sustainable launch of operations with the CityAirbus NextGen electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, currently in development. The parties also agree to identify pilot cases with the goal of securing public acceptance of UAM by demonstrating the added value that it can bring to communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/04\/lufthansa-limits-catering-on-some-flights.html\">Lufthansa limits catering on some flights due to staff shortages.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe partnership between ITA Airways and Airbus started with the evolution toward more modern, more comfortable and environmentally-friendly commercial aircraft, equipped with cutting-edge technologies\u201d, said Alfredo Altavilla, Chairman of ITA Airways. \u201cWith this agreement, our partnership expands to the segment of urban air mobility for a wider, customer-centric, innovative and sustainable offer for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CityAirbus NextGen is a fully electric vehicle equipped with fixed wings, a V-shaped tail, and eight electrically powered propellers as part of its uniquely designed distributed propulsion system. It is designed to carry up to four passengers &#8211; including a pilot &#8211; in zero-emission flights for multiple applications. CityAirbus NextGen is being developed to fly with a 80 km operational range and to reach a cruise speed of 120 km\/h, making it perfectly suited for a variety of missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis agreement is testimony to the strong relationship between Airbus and ITA Airways. It is an opportunity to leverage our shared ambition \u2013 pioneering sustainable aerospace \u2013 and advance new air mobility solutions for zero-emission vertical flight in support of our cities and communities later this decade\u201d, Guillaume Faury, CEO of Airbus said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
