EHang reported 36 eVTOL sales and deliveries in the second quarter of 2026, including 35 EH216-series aircraft and one VT35. Its August update also described continued trial operations at Guangzhou and Hefei, and an internal point-to-point trial route at the Guangzhou headquarters.
The distinction matters for anyone wondering whether to book a flying taxi. The announcement described preparation for future commercial operations, rather than an unrestricted public transport network. A certificate, a delivered aircraft and a routinely available passenger service are separate pieces of the same project.
What matters most to us is whether these capabilities can support repeated, ordinary departures. Dispatchers must decide whether conditions are suitable, ground teams must ready the aircraft, and the next passenger needs a clear process when a flight is delayed. Success on those tasks is less photogenic than a prototype flight but more relevant to a reliable timetable.
For readers tracking progress, the next useful evidence would be published operating hours, clearly identified ticketed routes and service availability across different conditions. Quarterly aircraft deliveries help measure industrial activity; they cannot establish how frequently members of the public can actually fly. SkyVehicle therefore treats EHang as a certified platform with evolving operations, while keeping each local service claim separate.
