The agreement, announced during the Farnborough International Airshow, signals Shearwater’s intent to integrate sustainable aviation technologies into its broader portfolio. By leveraging Eve’s existing backlog and technical ecosystem, the firm aims to provide specialized leasing solutions to operators, effectively lowering the barrier for fleet deployment as the market for lower-emissions transportation matures.

Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve Air Mobility, noted that the partnership strengthens the company’s customer network while providing operators with necessary financial pathways. For Shearwater, which joined the Bay Point private credit firm earlier in 2026, the move reflects a long-term commitment to financing transformative aviation assets. The companies plan to explore additional capital opportunities as demand for advanced air mobility services accelerates globally.
