FlyBIS, Leadin, Magnani and Fazan form Air Mobility Alliance in Brazil

FlyBIS Air Mobility, Leadin Aviation Consulting, Magnani e Fazan Infraestrutura Aeronáutica have formed a strategic alliance to build the operational, energy and infrastructure base for advanced air mobility in southern Brazil. The group is targeting eVTOL operations, vertiports and certification work ahead of FlyBIS’s planned launch in 2028.

Why it matters: - The alliance is meant to speed up Advanced Air Mobility adoption in Brazil by linking aircraft operations, vertiport infrastructure, energy systems and certification work. - The effort could help position southern Brazil as an early hub for eVTOL operations and related infrastructure. - FlyBIS is building toward a planned 2028 start for operations, so the alliance gives the project a clearer path from planning to deployment.

What happened: - FlyBIS Air Mobility, Leadin Aviation Consulting, Magnani e Fazan Infraestrutura Aeronáutica announced a strategic collaboration on July 8, 2026, in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. - The Air Mobility Alliance will develop integrated solutions for Advanced Air Mobility in Brazil. - The group will focus on eVTOL operations, vertiport infrastructure and associated energy systems.

The details: - The collaboration will produce demand studies, operational and economic feasibility work, strategic and business planning, aeronautical infrastructure planning, energy solutions and certification processes. - FlyBIS will lead governance, operating-model development, operator-airline structuring, aircraft-manufacturer relations and software development. - Leadin will handle business strategy, vertiport network planning, demand analysis, infrastructure modeling, institutional relations and support with authorities and sector stakeholders. - Magnani will lead energy work, including electrical feasibility studies, energy architecture, charging systems, energy storage, utility integration and technical-economic models. - Fazan Infraestrutura will manage executive vertiport design, operational safety analysis, licensing, construction oversight and certification support with regulators. - The companies said the alliance is designed to integrate aviation, infrastructure, energy and technology into complete solutions aligned with international best practices. - FlyBIS said it has a letter of intent with Eve Air Mobility, a company controlled by Embraer, to acquire up to 40 Eve-100 aircraft. - FlyBIS said operations are expected to begin in 2028. - FlyBIS posted a press contact at contato@flybis.com.br and its website is FlyBIS Air Mobility. - Leadin’s website is Leadin Aviation Consulting. - Magnani’s website is Magnani.

Between the lines: - The alliance shows how AAM projects often need multiple specialized partners before aircraft can enter service. - The structure suggests the companies are trying to de-risk a future network by splitting responsibilities across operations, planning, energy and construction. - The reference to international best practices signals an effort to frame the project as institutionally credible while it is still in development.

What's next: - The alliance will move into studies and planning for vertiport networks, energy systems and certification paths. - FlyBIS will continue preparing for an eventual operator role tied to eVTOL deployment. - The companies will likely need approvals, infrastructure buildout and technical validation before service can launch.
