On October 13, 2023, EHang’s self-developed EH216-S passenger-carrying UAV system received its Type Certificate (“TC”) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (“CAAC”).

On December 28, the certified EH216-S successfully completed its inaugural commercial flight demonstrations in Guangzhou and Hefei. As the world's first pilotless passenger-carrying eVTOL aircraft system to obtain a standard airworthiness certificate, EH216-S has been highly recognized by the CAAC and its partners for its innovation, revolutionary nature, leadership, safety, and applicability. The certified EH216-S passenger-carrying UAVs that have been delivered to customers will be utilized to provide commercial services in various scenarios such as low-altitude sightseeing and urban tourism, and their presence will continue to expand the deployment and implementation in different operational scenarios.
