What FLYBIS INCORPORATED does
FLYBIS Incorporated is a pre-operational Brazilian advanced air mobility (AAM) startup founded in 2020 and headquartered in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul. The company plans to operate as an eVTOL airline under four service modules: panoramic tourist flights, airport-to-city shuttle services, urban air mobility, and bespoke corporate/charter services. Its first commercial routes are planned for Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina in 2028, with stated ambitions to expand across Latin America. Customer targets include enterprise clients, government tourism agencies, airport operators, and premium tourism operators, anchored by a signed Memorandum of Understanding with Grupo Sirena (Sirena Gramado luxury tourism complex) and government support from Invest RS.
The company's core technology is licensed rather than owned: it is built around Eve Air Mobility's Lift + Cruise eVTOL aircraft featuring Distributed Electric Propulsion with multiple independent electric motors and rotors. FlyBIS's role is ecosystem operator rather than manufacturer, encompassing vertiport infrastructure, Urban Air Traffic Management (UATM) integration, and battery charging infrastructure planned to be powered by solar energy. The company has a Letter of Intent with Eve Air Mobility (an Embraer subsidiary, NYSE-listed since May 2022) for up to 40 aircraft, with first deliveries expected at the end of 2028. The team's prior executive aviation company, Brave Aviação Executiva, supplies operational infrastructure and a 25+ year aviation pedigree.
FlyBIS's revenue model is a transaction-fee passenger fare model with three predefined operational templates (tourism, airport shuttle, urban mobility) plus on-demand services. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales directed at corporates, government bodies, and tourism operators with event-driven brand building at industry conferences (Electric Move Brasil, 4YFN Barcelona, Gramado Summit). There is no public pricing, no disclosed funding rounds, and no recurring revenue. The company is actively soliciting investors through a dedicated email channel and is positioning itself as a launch customer of Eve's eVTOL platform in Southern Brazil.
