Lilium N.V. (NASDAQ: LILM), developer of the first all-electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) jet, has appointed an authorized sales dealership in the Middle East.
The company recently signed an agreement with ArcosJet DMCC, a prominent Dubai-based leader in business aircraft brokerage.
This agreement designates ArcosJet as the exclusive authorized dealer for private sales of the Lilium Jet in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Israel, and the Republic of Cyprus.
The move in the Middle East market follows in the wake of recent news that Lilium opened private sales of its eVTOL jets in the U.S. market, in partnership with EMCJET, a full-service aircraft brokerage and management company.
