India’s skies hold the key to solving one of the nation’s biggest challenge: mobility. And building that future requires collaboration across technology, infrastructure, training, and regulation.

That’s why Sarla Aviation and ETÃAC are joining forces.
ETÃAC is at the forefront of commercialising sustainable aviation with VTOL technologies that make cargo and passenger transport faster and greener.

What will this partnership mean for building India’s entire UAM ecosystem?

Expanding air routes and capabilities
Sarla’s STOL and eVTOL aircraft will join ETÃAC’s operational network, extending reach and efficiency across India, from dense urban corridors to regional connectivity.

Training the next generation of aviators
Through ETÃAC’s TRTO facility, we are deploying advanced simulators and structured training programs that prepare pilots for the future of air mobility. This collaboration ensures India’s talent pipeline is ready to operate and scale safe, reliable flying taxi services.

Shaping urban air corridors and certification pathways
Both companies will work hand in hand with aviation authorities to design safe, efficient urban air mobility corridors and to advance certification frameworks for VTOL operations in India. Together, we aim to help set the standards that will guide this industry for decades to come.

Building the physical backbone of UAM
Our teams will jointly identify and develop vertiports, mini airstrips, and maintenance hubs—critical infrastructure that allows air taxis to integrate seamlessly into cities and regions. These nodes will become the everyday touchpoints where urban air mobility meets people’s lives.

Designing business models for scale
We are co-developing business models and operational strategies that optimise advanced air mobility services—balancing cargo and passenger demand, ensuring affordability, and creating seamless customer experiences.

Growing a nationwide ecosystem
From partnerships with local governments and airports to collaborations with hospitals, logistics providers, and mobility platforms, Sarla and ETÃAC are committed to building a robust, interconnected network that unlocks the true potential of UAM.

This partnership is about accelerating a future where moving through the skies is as easy and natural as walking down the street. Together with ETÃAC, we’re combining technological innovation with operational expertise to create a system that is safe, sustainable, and scalable.
