The partners plan to leverage their respective strengths for tighter coordination. ARIDGE will supply advanced aircraft, core technology, and operational support. Meanwhile, Eastern General Aviation is tapping its status as China's No. 001 licensed cross-border flight operator—along with its extensive network of landing sites and operational experience—to open up its infrastructure. The firm will also coordinate airspace guarantees and work with ARIDGE to plan and implement flight camps and related services.
By combining scenario showcases, sales partnerships, and ecosystem building, the two aim to develop low-altitude economy demonstration projects that meet national standards. These initiatives will span diverse scenarios, including flight experiences, low-altitude tourism, and integrated cultural tourism.
The collaboration will focus on four key areas: launching product sales partnerships to boost market awareness for flying cars; building a low-altitude infrastructure and service ecosystem to strengthen travel support; refining standardized operational systems to streamline airspace applications and flight plan approvals; and establishing a joint training platform to cultivate technical talent, solidifying the workforce needed for the sector's growth.
