Lilium (NASDAQ: LILM), a leading electric aircraft manufacturer and
pioneer in Regional Air Mobility (RAM), is today debuting the
Lilium Jet, the world's first fully electric jet that can take off
and land vertically, to the U.S. market. The Lilium Jet is designed
and optimized for regional travel with an aerodynamic shape and
ducted electric fans that prioritize efficiency and speed during
forward flight. With an anticipated initial operating range of
roughly 110 miles, the Lilium Jet will be capable of quickly
connecting Houstonians to the broader region, with routes like
Houston Hobby Airport to Galveston, Houston Spaceport to College
Station, The Woodlands to Galveston, and others. Galaxy FBO’s
Houston-area facilities at Houston Hobby, Conroe North Houston
Regional Airport, and The Woodlands Heliport will be key
infrastructure for Lilium Jet operators in the Houston area.
Jeremy Gee, CEO of Galaxy FBO, said: “We are excited to
transform Galaxy FBO into a cutting-edge hub for the eVTOL
innovation. As the future of electric aviation takes flight, this
marks a significant step in making Houston a leader in sustainable
and efficient transportation solutions. Our team is proud to
support Lilium's revolutionary mode of travel that will connect
Greater Houston in ways never thought possible."
Houston-based EMCJET has secured production slots from Lilium as
part of a broader partnership agreement and is poised to be
involved in the first round of customer deliveries starting in
2026. Memo Montemayor, Founder & CEO of EMCJET, said, “Our
clients want to own the future of aviation and, with our
partnership with Lilium, they can do just that. With a spacious
cabin, luxurious finishes, and vertical takeoff and landing
capability, the Lilium Jet meets our clients’ needs to travel
safely, sustainably, and comfortably.”
To showcase the transformative potential of the Lilium Jet and
the broader electric aviation landscape, the Greater Houston
Partnership, the region's largest chamber of commerce, is
collaborating with Galaxy FBO and Lilium for an engaging discussion
with policymakers and industry leaders. Kevin Tipton, Senior
Director for Aerospace & Aviation at the Greater Houston
Partnership, expressed enthusiasm about this collaboration,
stating, “Houston is home to the world’s leading aerospace
companies, and we’re thrilled to welcome Lilium and this next
generation of aviation technology. Together, we’re on the brink of
something groundbreaking for our region.”
Matthew Broffman, Lilium’s VP of Commercial, Americas said,
“Lilium is serious about expanding in the U.S. and actively
progressing towards FAA validation. As part of our commitment to
working with communities across the U.S. and expanding our customer
base, we’re excited to showcase our aircraft for the first time in
Houston, a city with a proud legacy of aerospace innovation in
America.”
Next month, the Lilium Jet will be displayed at the 2024 NBAA
Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) in Las
Vegas. Lilium is preparing for its first piloted flight of the
Lilium Jet in early 2025.
