Brazil's aviation regulator told Reuters that Embraer's flying-taxi type certification in 2027 is realistic, but the regulator's new president said he would like to accelerate that milestone to 2026, signalling a push to speed regulatory approval for the OEM's electric air-taxi programme.

Briefing
The regulator has publicly targeted moving Embraer's flying-taxi certification forward by one year (2027 → 2026), a shift that directly changes near-term commercial entry assumptions for Embraer and its partners.
That announcement comes against a backdrop of protracted eVTOL certification challenges and regulatory hurdles, underscoring the importance of regulatory timelines outlined in coverage of eVTOL certification progress and delays.
The timing matters alongside industry test programmes and partnerships — for example, Eve's motor test and industry consolidation moves and regional efforts such as the Asia-Pacific unified eVTOL safety guidance that shape certification and operational readiness.
