Chennai: Global aviation software provider Ramco Systems has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with The ePlane Company (Ubifly Technologies Pvt. Ltd.), a startup focused on redefining urban air mobility through its flagship electric aircraft, the ePlane e200X.
Partnership to Build a Digital Backbone
Under the agreement, ePlane will use Ramco Aviation Software to manage the entire lifecycle of its e200X fleet, which includes air taxi, air ambulance, and air cargo variants. The collaboration aims to strengthen ePlane’s digital operations as it moves toward certification, manufacturing, and commercial deployment of the e200X.
