8月4日,据知情人士透露,电动空中出租车开发商Joby Aviation 正在考虑收购直升机运营商Blade Air Mobility 。受此消息影响,Blade Air股价在夜盘交易时段大涨近15%。
知情人士表示,Joby近期正在评估这笔交易。Blade主要运营纽约市区至周边机场及度假胜地的直升机共享航线,采用单座售票模式。若收购成功,正在研发电动空中出租车的Joby将直接获得成熟的航空出行市场。不过相关人士强调,目前尚未达成最终协议,Joby仍可能放弃收购。目前,双方公司代表均未对置评请求作出回应。
据了解,Blade于2021年通过SPAC合并上市,但至今尚未实现年度盈利。该公司股价年内累计下跌10%,当前市值约为3.09亿美元。作为获得丰田汽车(TM.US)投资的航空创新企业,Joby计划在2026年初启动商业飞行服务,预计明年将有5架航空器进入适航认证的最后阶段。这家市值136亿美元的公司上月宣布,将把其加州玛丽娜工厂的年产能提升一倍至24架航空器。
