Vertical Aerospace announced a memorandum of understanding with JetSetGo, a leading Indian private‑aviation operator founded in 2014, to purchase 50 of its Valo eVTOL aircraft. The MOU is an intended purchase, not a firm order, and includes joint development of route networks, operating models, and regulatory engagement across India and Singapore.
The Valo, designed for a 160‑km (100‑mile) range and 240‑km/h speed, delivers zero operating emissions and is positioned to serve dense city corridors and regional markets. The partnership also explores a hybrid‑electric variant that could extend range and mission flexibility for Indian use cases.
The deal expands Vertical Aerospace’s commercial footprint into the world’s largest aviation market and adds a substantial order pipeline that supports the company’s strategy to accelerate Valo’s type certification and market entry by 2028. JetSetGo’s existing fleet and operational experience in India make it a strategic partner for testing and deploying AAM services.
The MOU was announced on February 4, 2026, and reiterated on February 5, 2026, marking a significant milestone for Vertical Aerospace as it moves closer to commercial deployment of its eVTOL platform in a high‑growth market.
