EHang's (EH) EH216-S completed Central Asia's first pilotless human-carrying electric vertical takeoff and landing flight in Astana, Kazakhstan, during the Games of the Future 2026, the company said Monday.
The EH216-S conducted multiple flights carrying Kazakhstan's Transport Minister and other guests after the country introduced an initial eVTOL regulatory framework in June, the company said.
The flight highlights the EH216-S' ability to operate under diverse regulatory environments, following EHang's 2025 agreement with Kazakhstan's Allur Group to develop advanced air mobility markets in Central Asia, it added.
